Yeah, the situation is nowhere near what they go through in The Wedding Banquet. Actually, I wish it were - maybe I could script it and make a major motion picture.

I've already told my parents numerous times that I don't want to get an MBA, and that if I did, I'd want to go to a more specialized program. But nothing I say will change their minds. Like I said, this is a non-issue.

That doesn't mean they're completely heartless. I can do whatever I want to do, and as long as I do it well, my parents will be happy. It's just that there are certain things that would make them exceptionally happy, unfortunately.

THe problem here is that I lied to get out of this situation, and it's gonna come back and bite me in the ass. That's all.

Actually, I'm halfway out of the hole - I told my mom that they already posted interview candidates and that I was not among them. She was cool about it ... but when her and my father get a chance to discuss things, their opinions often change very, very quickly.
