My [34F] parents [70M/F] yelled at my husband [32M] for thinking about taking a job for a much smaller pay and we decided to go to his parents for Christmas and my siblings won't leave it alone.

My husband works for one of the top animation studios in hollywood. He has worked on/animated several films that have come out in theatres over the past couple of years. He has a really good stable source of income, but for the past year he hasn't really been happy there. The studio is great to him. He's just lost interest in being there. It's nothing to do with the studio itself, they're great. It's more he's bored of it. He's told his boss he's thinking of leaving. They don't want him to, but he's always welcome back if he does leave one day.
My husband has made some friends in different companies. He's been talking to some of his friends that work for one of the big 2 comic book companies who has been talking to him about taking a leap into being an artist for them. Nothing major at first, just doing posters and other promotional art. He's got a job there if he wants it.
He was talking to my parents last weekend when they asked how his job was going. He told them he was thinking of becoming an artist at one of these companies. They lost their mind, because it would be a lot less than what he normally makes. They don't want him sitting around making less money drawing people like Iron Man/Batman all day. It caused a huge fight my parents over the money situation, and how I'd be making more than him.
We decided to go to his parents place in Alabama for Christmas instead of staying here for it after the fight. My siblings have not left me alone since. They keep telling me I've broken my parents heart. They're just worried we won't be able to live our life style. My sister who I've let stay with me has kept asking me to reconsider.
How do I make it clear once and for all that they don't get and say in where we go? And how do I get my parents to stop talking bad about my husband to their friends about this?

tl;dr: My husband is thinking about taking a job that pays less and my parents lost their minds about it. How do I make it clear once and for all that they don't get and say in where we go? And how do I get my parents to stop talking bad about my husband to their friends about this?
