OP:
Until you have a child the only person who needs to be happy with your decisions is the one you see in the mirror everyday. Don't worry about it.
The best day of my life was when I realized it didn't matter what anybody else, including my friends or family thought about my career choice. Better yet, It doesn't matter what anybody else things about yourself other than YOU.
