I think your young years should be wasted on frivolous fun, travel, and getting yourself banged up doing all the things that youth benefits the most. Fuck having a career. You have another 60 years to work.
I find the parent's motives noble, but he clearly had to work hard to get her to go to this class, which I don't think is a good idea for kids. At the very least they may feel like they have no choice (because they live under your roof), or they might develop an unhealthy dependency ('dad will love me if I do this class, right?'). Obviously parents should try to expose their kids to different things, but I wish they'd stop short of 'pushing'.
