Career Choices and parents' inputs?

Assalamu Alaikum

One of my parents wants me to pursue a specific career, which is not something I intended
on doing but don't mind very much because I can do that for a couple of years and go back
to what it was I wanted to do before. My intention of doing this would be to please my
parent it is not much for me because they did a lot for me and brought me to where I am
today. My other parent does not mind what I do as long as I'm successful in it and I should
do what I feel like despite parent # 1 feeling I should choose that career path. Doing
something to please your parent is amazing and the rewards are plenty...however my other
parent insists that what I do with my life should be decided by me eventually and I should
speake with parent #1 and not feel pressurized to do something I would not otherwise do.
I tell parent # 2 I don't mind doing what parent # 1 wants me to do and I can pursue what
I wanted later. I have 8-9 months starting from tomorrow for my life to take a path. I
have been praying istikharah and I'm still not sure so any advice would be appreciated.
