I never got a degree, I make more money than lots of people with degrees, and still every few months my mum is like “wouldn’t it be nice if you got a degree dear”. It’s not even really about earning potential IMO, it’s about status/class https://t.co/U3sKUmYvIN
My mom doesn’t know this, she just wants a photo of me in a graduation costume that she can show off to her sisters on whatsapp. Maybe I should make a fake one lol https://t.co/c5ShvIYbIi
@visakanv I get this from various McKenzies at every big family gathering. “So when are you going to grow up and [start writing journal articles]?” “Oh I’m published.” “Oh wow good for you. Did you get an MBA when I wasn’t looking?” “Still just the two degrees.” “Bit of a quitter then?”
@visakanv “You know if you got an MBA I bet you could get a job at AppAmaGooFaceSoft.” “That is likely true, but I could probably just call them and ask for one. Which I have not done, because that would mean I was working for AppAmaGooFaceSoft.” “I hear they pay well.” “That very true.”
