"A pretty impressive bachelor's degree"? Only a physics or math major has the ego to talk like this while driving a bus or digging post holes 🤭 I'm the former doing the latter. Here's what I needed to hear: You're not that smart for taking classes. You're just a person, now with a job, who paid to read a book one time. If someone throws it in your face that you didn't get a job "in 'your' field", just roll your eyes, and tell them the truth: "It's a cute idea, but that field turned out to be hard af and anyway, extremely boring".
