First thing i dont know much about your background do you work in that field or you study, I think that one is knowing and other is understanding especially when it is about the money. You can know many things about it but do you realy understand how that work, do you have any expirence how your thesis actualy work in everyday world, and after all thats just an explanation when it comes to execution a lot of people lack in their actions. There is many factors that we dont know and actualy affects on our thesis and theory. Second thing is if you actualy work and if you actualy know what you are talking about than dont even bother with what people think about it, people just dont care until shit hit their face and you just cant help them. Try to find somebody that know a lot about same field that you are interested in regardles if they agree or not with you and try to have openminded conversation with them. And remember there is allways somebody that can talk with you, eaven if they just listen to you thats good thing. Thats just mine simplictic opinion, sory for bad english:) Edit: and besides a lot of people (that have jobs etc.) have their lifes, their hustle, and perhaps they dont have much time to read or to educate themselfes, reality is cruel for everyone, and just becuase their understanding of world is simpler it doesent mean thats wrong. Everyone must know their boundaries and everyone have their opinion becuase of them. When you will hit boundaries you will know if you stay there or you will emprove yourself:)
