Erin,
You can only imagine at this point how much you will gain from going into this field. I often tell my patients I learn far more from them than they learn from me. It is so rewarding.
As for loans and $$$, I'm still paying off mine but find them easy to manage. The job outlook is so good right now too whether with peds or adults.
Keep your head up, things always work out as they should and I agree with Karen, give your parents some time and they will come around.
