Actual conversation I had this week
Me: yeah so I’m getting my masters degree
Them: nice hopefully not in mathematics this time you wasted your potential by getting a bs in math and not studying mechanical or electrical engineering
Me: NOW WHY TF WOULD YO
Girly don’t let others tear you down everyone questioned my math degree but I got a job within 2 weeks of graduating as a software engineer and my whole family was like holy shit I had no idea you could do anything you want with a math degree
