Choosing a profession for the young person is really difficult, and parents may have forgotten that. They say "youth is wasted on the young" because when we are young, we haven't had enough experience, made enough mistakes and developed enough understanding of repercussions to truly enjoy what we have - youth. That your parents are disappointed is no surprise to me, given what you want to be, because they probably believe you may eventually want more than these professions have to offer.
Then again, if one of them really fits you, you might have a dream job and be thrilled with what you do all your life. I can't say. Your parents want what is best for you, and they can see through eyes more experienced than yours. They're trying to prevent you from making the mistakes they - and, it seems, almost everyone else - made/makes. If I could go back to when I was 16 or 18, knowing what I know now, whooee, would I do things differently.
The reason education is so important is that with enough knowledge, one can make up for lack of experience, and doors will open. There are a lot of profession options you may not yet have considered, so my advice is to keep looking up what options there are. Also, don't just write things off, but really explore them.
Also, seriously consider going to college. And last but not least, become a psychic and know what you'll want to do after you have experience with whatever you choose, so you can make sure you don't make any choices that prevent you from being able to do whatever that is before you get there.
