I have always wanted to be a computer programmer or a businessman but parents say degrees like that don't have any worth. Anyways, I don't have any escape from this since they have been paying for everything. Also, every time I get an online part time job, my parents act all mad saying I should just be patient. I can't even go out by myself anymore. Moving out is not an option. But CTB is.

Hey Guest,
An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I can understand what's that like to some extent, my dad won't let me quit a job I seriously hate and gives me anxiety plus depression. I'd rather be a bum or CTB if I have to deal with his shit any longer.

Proving them wrong is difficult but possible.
Show them legit proof that professionss you mentioned are "worth it". Keep the pressure on.
Even if they won't agree with your choice, showing how determined you are will more than likely get them on your side.

I totally understand this. My parents are just like this. And they gave me hell, and used money and security to blackmail and threaten me all the time. On top of that, they never let me have a job. This can have a HUGE impact on your mental health. I'm sorry you're going through this.
And btw, those are both great degrees and the job market is huge for both. I'm baffled that parents think they are God sometimes lol.
However, I would consider this question: do you want to escape life? Or do you want to escape your situation?

Feels like it really doesn't , it's the staying oblivious that makes it worse and easy for them to intrude and steer your life. Leaving you stranded at a crossroad with no map.
And like everyone said OP, the professions you're mentioning are one of the best career paths these days, wonder why they wouldn't let you pursue them.

Yes I have tried so much. Last year was like the peak of my passion to pursue this dream job but I always get derailed. Even worse, they threatened to stop my schooling if I didn't conform. It even got to the point that I fucking wanted to shoot the whole place up. Fortunately, that didn't happen and SS saved me from destruction. Now, I would never ever hurt anyone. I've been praying and all that. But I am getting closer to my death.
Yes!! They always bring up how much money theyve spent on us, etc. They even blamed my girlfriend. The reality is, I hope they see that I am not young anymore and am free to make my own decisions.
To them, these professions are "SATURATED"

It would be easier once you move out then change career, don't ctb just because of this. Just have a plan in place that once you're no longer living with them and their rules then you can do whatever you want. I worked in job my dad wanted but now he has no influence since I don't live under the same roof as him. That job ironically provided me with independence to get away from him.

Most parents want jobs for kids that are high earning, in this country computer science is highly regarded because it can get you into so many fields so I don't understand why your parents think it's saturated. There's game development, app development, cloud computing, programming, debugging, etc career choices are huge as well as income. Perhaps your parents are I'll informed.

Your parents are completely wrong on this, unless the school you're going to happens to have very poor quality for their programs in those fields. You can absolutely have a perfectly decent career out of programming or business if that's what you want to do.
If you had said something like the arts or social studies classes then maybe they'd at least be somewhat right. I'm saying this as someone whose dad urged me to not do anything that wasn't a STEM or Law degree when I really wanted to do animation initially. Even so, you should still do what makes you happy either way. Hopefully you can convince them how wrong they are.
