try explaining to your parents the reason why you want to be an architect and just as what exocat15 said, research about the life of an architect and teacher! maybe the life of an architect has more pros than life of a teacher, who knows right? ;) good luck!!
maybe research about being an architect and use counterexamples to compare an architect and teacher? use facts to prove to them that you can have a good life as an architect, and not necessarily as a teacher.
