I’m a full-time college student in stem dealing with horrible autistic burnout and it’s summer break and I’m unemployed. My parents kinda discouraged me anyways (“it won’t help you in your career”), but I still feel guilty. Should I feel guilty?

I’m currently in the same situation but you HAVE to take breaks, if u don’t then you’ll probably feel way worse
