Its the end of the world as we know it!

I often open my mouth at the wrong time and apparently have such a crude sense of humor that I am just permanently a sarcastic bitch. "You see what had happened was", I got into it with a 4 year college student. She was explaining to me "why" she believed my career path was stupid. Now I have done my fair share of bitching and complaining in my life time, but I don't think I have ever got to a point to where I have told some one their personal choice for a career "is stupid". I did the whole "big" university shin dig it was great! I had a awesome time, partied my ass off made some mistakes and learned that my morals where questionable. That being said, I yes didn't go to school for fucking rocket science but There is a lot that goes into going to school for photography, especially when you do it live in action and when your expertise is in the production side. I know my fair share of struggles as a starving artist, well I was the motherfucking boss at USF at the age of 17 I was running 7 employees! Loved it, after getting hitched an what not the Army stuck "us" in the armpit of America aka- Clarksville, Tn; It is a bit difficult to get a job in my field  an be payed what you are worth. After odd job after odd job I decided to go back to school for Medical Assisting; which is, a high in demand job. She than looked into my eyes and said so your just going to be a glorified secretary? Excuse me? Did I miss something here? Now it's only two years and up until a few days ago because I lack on occasion attention to detail ( it was a rather large detail to miss but heyyyy it happens i'm human)  I thought I was going to be receiving a simple diploma. I was ok with that it is a piece of paper that I need to get a job come to find out I am receiving an associates degree in applied science. In my opinion that means you have a little more education than just to be a fucking glorified secretary! Livid I explained to her what I see at school everything from Anatomy&Physiology , phlebotomy, psychology , pharmacology, in my opinion it's not as simple as it fucking sounds, but sure i'm a fucking glorified secretary in theory that doesn't mean it took a little bit of brains and time to get there so bite me! I think it went rather well, she then went on to apologize and that she had no idea we even studied anything like that. Really? I mean really? you insulted me with out even knowing what I do? Go take your four year degree and shooooove it!
