treating me like shit for actually getting a worthwhile degree that'll lead to a career that can pay the bills
People treat you like shit for your choice of major? Hasn't happened to me (engineer) but if anybody did this to me I would choose to spend time around different people.
- Crake 14y agoA lot of people have looked down on me for it. Especially arts/liberal arts majors who have graduated and now make like...8-12K/year with their degree. They like to imply that they're the better person because they went to college for ~knowledge's sake~ or whatever. (Like I don't also love learning???)
- theorique 14y agoAh, got it. Sounds like a rationalization based on envy and resentment. As in, their college experience isn't paying off financially, but they are better than you for pursuing pure love of knowledge rather than chasing the filthy dollar.
