Never listen to your teachers because it is very likely that you end up choosing the wrong career. When you choose the wrong career, you will end up complaining all your life. I was always told by my professors that banking is a career for me, however, I am more successful than my friends who choose a banking career. You can take advice from your parents and they never meant to harm you, but they are not always right because they cannot see the future, they only know about the past. If I had listened to my parents, I would have become a professor teaching finance to kids. I am not sure about trusting a spouse, though (because I don't have a spouse). While you cannot interpret the conclusion drawn by any kind of survey as the absolute truth, you can of course take a cue from these surveys to make your own conclusion.
