Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

Brother you know about as good as I know that whatever is intended for you to achieve and earn in this life is wholly independent of you or myself or anyone else and Who that Power belongs to.

Be thankful for having a father who set you off in the direction that you hoped was best for your professional future. I'm confident in you that you've taken the time to sit and think about where you truly want to go next. What if you aren't indecisive? What if you know exactly what you want to do and where you want to be next? Whatever the outcome is it can only be to your advantage as long as you want to believe that is the case!

Brother, you know what? I actually have absolutely no fear about the future. Wallahi i don't. I firmly believe that if Allah has taken something from our hands, He surely has the power to provide for us in return.

But still, when it comes to my family -who are a sacred trust left to me by my father- I feel the heavy responsibility of needing to choose the best possible profession. I feel deeply obligated to work hard and provide for them. And of course, since we are human and have our own nafs, a profession that merely puts food on the table just doesn't feel like enough... unfortunately

I think you will be fine. Allah willing. It sounds like you have good intentions at heart. I hope that if you follow it you can find a balance between what's best for you and your family and the type of work that you desire for yourself.

May Allah make this all easy for you. Ameen.
