What is the optimal course of action given a mother's refusal to allow her son to move to another city for work, and her insistence that he remain with her, especially since the available work does not match his qualifications?

Some scholars have permitted traveling for trade without the parents' permission, as there is no fear of perishing in it. We advise showing filial piety to the mother, being kind to her, and trying to convince her. If the mother insists on her stance and the son is able to endure patiently in obedience to her, he will be rewarded.
