I am planning on going to a school that doesn't require foreign language to get in, and I want to major in computer sciences. I have one spanish credit, finishing my second one this year.
I was asked about the school merchandise store by my microsoft office teacher(this is something that not just anybody can sign up for, the teacher only asks kids she thinks are capable), and asked if I wanted to join. I obviously said yes, and applied as the website operator. I would learn how to work a website and I would organize the orders placed into the site. My mother was fine with it- until we learned that it was an actual class and not an extra-curricular.
My mother is insistent that I take spanish 3 next year and give up the store managing. I personally dislike spanish, and I would already have 2 credits of it after this year if i pass. Her reasoning behind this is "Nobody will hire you if you aren't billingual, and you need to take 4 years of it to be considered billingual". I'm split on pleasing my mother and having a well-rounded college application. Any ideas on how to convince my mother to let me be a part of the school store?
Don't tell me that I should do whatever I think is right for me... because people who say that to children brainwash them into getting useless majors like art and philosphy, and my mother cares about me enough to at least guide me to a good field (she doesn't even want me getting a computer sciences degree, she wants me to be a General practioner, or at least a lab tech, her compromise. I don't want to work in a medical field)
