I love my parents; they did the best they knew how to do for me. Unfortunately, the best they knew was not always good enough, and that's especially true when it comes to their obsession with how others view them (and, by extension, how others view me). I learned that their lack of self-development is not a burden I need to take on.
My parents are surgeons too and they love my creativity. I wonder if you could show them another side. I volunteered for a benefit at their hospital and that helped them see my capabilities. Could you do that.

Honestly, brush it off. Not much you can do to control their actions. Just prove to them why its the right path for you by succeeding!
Sounds like left brain / right brain issues. Being creative is not a language they speak, while being analytical is not a language you speak. It doesn't mean that one is better than the other. They're just different. I would talk to them directly and explain how you feel. Any parent who makes their child feel inadequate is failing at being a parent. I don't care what they do for a paycheck, they're hurting their own child's self-esteem, which is unacceptable. Talk to them and let them know.
It's possible you could convince them by getting into the technical end of the work. Maybe all the data will impress them. I can understand how people who spent years studying science might be skeptical and think it's just social media silliness.
I stopped listening to my parents feedback very early in my career and it was the best decision I ever made for my career. My parents were also not in my industry and didn't understand my work, which meant they gave horrible advice based on their niche career paths that didn't translate to my corporate jobs.
Just roll with it, get satirical about how they don't understand and brush it off. They did their job to get you where you are, now go be your own person.
Never take career advice from someone who don’t want to become. Would a plumber take advice from a doctor? No, so why should a marketer? Take advice and explain your career decisions to people in your field and people like CMOs you look up to
I've been there and I stopped trying. My family never understood social media marketing and what my job involved. I stopped trying to explain on a larger level what my daily workday was like, and started giving more simple explanations.
