Investing in me

What I plan to do after high school is to attend a university for either Neurosurgery or Cardiothoracic Surgery. I've already started saving up money for college to prepare for whatever comes my way. My plan is to just do really good in school & try to get scholarships for San Diego State or UCLA. My parents really do not want me working right now or during school at all because they have the mindset that I am gonna stop trying or get distracted for money. I honestly don't mind right now either, they have told me that to just stay focus in school & they'll take care of what I need or want. The only time they have let me work was barley this year in the summer & it was pretty fun. I worked with my sister at an ice cream shop, Nite Creamery until school came & had to quit. Though, my plan again is to get a scholarship and finally move to San Diego & be with my mom's side of the family. I've always wanted to live in San Diego because it's so beautiful & my whole Brewer family is there so I would really want to move with my mom on my side as well.
