It's your life, figure out what's best for you and go for it. You're the one who will have to do the work and live with the decision. I kind of went through the same thing. I was going to be a pediatrician until I realized that I couldn't handle the math and chemestry so I decided on psychologist. My parents both have psych degrees and jobs that have nothing to do with the field, so it took me about a year and a half to convince them that they weren't changing my mind. It still comes up every once in a while, but they've accepted it because they understand that I have a passion for it and that I'm not changing my mind no matter what they say.
