BF TAKING SCDF JOB, DREAMS OF POSH WEDDING OVER

I have a dilemma. A huge one. My boyfriend of two years have decided to be an SCDF regular. Initially i was ok until my parents commented that its a dirty hands job done by certain people only.

To me personally, army is still ok but police or SCDF is low class jobs done by “some people” only. I tried to convince my bf because he has a degree why should he do that kind of job. But all those pleas fell on death ears. I feel like i need to save my parents face too. And with that kind of manual labor job i can forget about having a posh wedding.

Whenever my friends asked me what kind of profession he is in, i would just lie and say that he is doing some business startup, no concrete plans yet.

Any advice?
