Nice_guy_with_mba, do not listen to negative comments. Just listen to yourself and do what needs to be done. Dont care about whether other people will deem u as a failure, it is your life not theirs. Do what makes you and your family happy. These others dont matter, if they did matter, they wouldnt be thinking like that.

I wish you all the best in life and hope all kinds of success come your way. I am happy for you. Do well.
