“Good luck with that…” *said sarcastically*
I hate when I tell people my major, and then they give me their unwanted sarcastic remarks about how interesting that will turn out for me.
QUIT TELLING ME THAT.
I chose my major because it is something I enjoy. I chose it because I know a career path I want to take, and this major gets me there. I want this, so I am going to achieve it, with or without your snarky remarks towards me.
Are you the one taking these courses? No.
Are you the one paying for it? Hell no.
Are you the one who will graduate with this degree after all your hard work and dedication to something you love? NOPE.
So shut up, sit down, and quit judging me for my collegiate academic choices. It does not affect you at all.
If I want to be a teacher education, game design, psychology, business major, or LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE THAT I COULD IMAGINE I WANT TO MAJOR IN, I’m going to set my goals towards achieving that. I picked it because I think I can do well at it.
If you have educated questions to ask me about my major, please, ask away.
Example of such questions are as follows:
“Psychology? That sounds cool, what is your dream goal to do with that after graduation?”
“Teacher education, wow! You are going to do so well. What age group and subject do you want to teach?”
“How excited are you to finally get into your dream job with your major?”
Uneducated questions or comments asked about my major that will make me want to punch you, are very unwelcomed.
Examples as follows:
“Early childhood? That's cute. Must be easy.”
“You’ll never get a job with that.”
“What can you even do with an english degree? No one even reads books anymore.”
Please, for the love of everything, let me be happy with my major. I chose it because I love it. I chose it for myself, not for anyone else. I am going to do it, with or without your unwanted opinion on the matter.
