How do I tell my parents?

>>5
I have no aspirations to be anything more than a wage worker. My parents want me to go into science and I go along with it because it makes them happy. I should be honest; we're pretty wealthy right now. My parents send me to a private, prestegious gender-segregated Catholic school. They think I enjoy the expensive education they're buying for me, even when I've expressed several times that I'd rather be in a public highscool. I'm tired of a lot of the pomp surrounding the intelligentsia and I just don't want to be a part of that anymore. I'm, frankly, very unhappy.

I figured that if I drop out I could end up getting basic employment of some sort and rent a little place of my own. I think I'd be happy that way. And yes, I know the lot of you will quip that I'm just an idiot who has no idea what it's like to be poor, and being poor won't make me happy. I understand that. But I don't want to keep doing what I'm doing now without a viable out.

If anything I might like to be a mother or wife someday. The only thing that I feel some sense of accomplishment from is helping and taking care of other people. But that isn't a respectable position for women in this society, either.
