Why is it so funny?
A friend recently laughed at me when I said my goal was to achieve my Master's.
:irked:
She said, and I quote "Masters? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA"
:irked:
I explained what it meant in this industry and that a lot of knowledge, skill and experience were required. That it means mastering MULTIPLE systems that are very different.
I pulled out the big guns and used all the 'big words' and explained how we need to know chemistry and biology etc..
And yet, she still thought it was funny WHILE nodding her head "No, I could never do it, I dont have the skill, but you're very talented" "And no, I dont know what an eponychium is, or a sole horn, or what was that word? ony something or other?" "no, I dont understand what polygomers are.."
THEN WHY is it funny?
Ordinarily, this sort of thing doesn't aggravate me over much.
BUT TODAY, it pissed me right off!
She laughed, IN MY FACE:irked:
Meanwhile, her part time job is as a cashier in a grocery store.
How impressive is that?
What is with the stereotype people have of those in the beauty industry that we must be stupid or something?
HOW do we change it????
