It is not permissible to obey one's parents in removing the hijab, because it constitutes disobedience to Allah. Covering the face is obligatory for a woman in front of non-mahram men, according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions. It is not permissible to remain in a job that prevents covering the face unless there is a necessity, while searching for another job where covering the face is possible and moving to it, even if the financial return is less.
