Anyway sometimes we are wrong and our parents are right. It depends really because they are looking at the situation of the country. Reading engr is good and to me better than nursing but in Naija its connection that gets job.

Reading nursing , medicine or any medical related course but especially nursing is very lucrative and don't need any connection for you to get your job. Its also faster. You can settle down easily with nursing. It depends on the family load your parents have. But to me I think you should go with their idea. Just an opinion...
