Today was a good day, remember I mentioned that there was a gathering with the alumnus well that ended up well, but had a shitty kick start. This is one of the posts where I completely vent ! Okay, so here's what happened...this know-it-all asshole from my grad class and a couple of others including myself arrived there first, so the casual meet and greet with the new staff is a must at one of these social events. So, as we're talking, one of the staff asked about what we're studying, and I said I am majoring in Asian Studies, and he (the asshole) burst out laughing (literally an LOL) ! HOW RUDE !! and I asked him whats so funny? and he said oh nothing, I just find it funny that you're tracing down your roots. My reaction was completely shocked and basically filled with a WTF. Okay, so you're a well educated person and you laugh at other people's interests? Many people think Asian Studies is a category that leads to a poor life, basically it will get you nowhere. Maybe it's true, but at the same time, being in business school or heck, even if you're a doctor ! and in this case, he's neither of the above, he's just in the criminology program - anyways, it doesn't guarantee you a prosperous future ! For all I know, several, not all, elite "A students" in for say, business school that become economists have an actual job ! Most of them, in fact, end up being freelance economists living on their own. And to say that you laugh at an Asian Studies major, the only question I'm asking is who are you to laugh at others when you're nothing yourself, how rude and disrespectful !
Thats all my venting today, feeling much better, I don't know if people actually see this stuff, but anyways, thanks for 'listening'.
Lots of love ❤️,
es.
