<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

Essentially, the content is pretty positively correlated with the title.  My goal is essentially to major in economics as an undergraduate then go on (maybe not instantly) to get a PHD in the same subject.  I am not very upfront about my aspirations so very few (and no one that matters) actually are aware of my goals.  I'm coming to a point where I really need to decide if that is what I am doing within the next week or two.  If things were simple I would just take the courses necessary at my community college and work my way up from there.  Here is the catch, my father who I have a great deal of respect for does not want me to major in economics but instead something more tangible.  Specifically finance, (well actually he wanted me to major in radiography but that didn't last more than a year and I only agreed because I was so uncertain) I understand his reasoning that I will likely have more direct job openings in finance and will be able to get at least some kind of career (likely), I also would not have to lean on my father for financial support, but I really feel like this is the wrong path for myself.  Furthermore, I fear if I make the wrong choice here it will further negatively impact my already financially hurt family.  People say that you are responsible for your own life but it is so hard for me to accept this knowing the impacts the decisions I make might have on people.  I don't want my decisions to hurt the few people I love but at the same time (even though I don't dislike subjects like finance) I don't want to live the rest of my life in an unfulfilled job always wishing I had a bigger pair of balls when I was younger.  What I ask is should (and if so how) can I convince my father to let me do this or trust his judgement?
<bot>: I want to major in economics but my dad wants me to major in finance, I'm scared to go after what I want knowing it could negatively impact them.  What should I do?
