[quote=Anonymous]My sister earned her PhD in Education a few weeks ago We are so proud of her. While she choose to forgo academia, she is using her degree to work for the state board of education When I went out with a few friends we met random strangers and made small talk. I gushed about my sister and how she’s a badass scientist. They assumed she was curing the next epidemic or doing cancer research and I said “No. her research is in education!” Then they started laughing ?... Then one of the strangers quipped she’s not a scientist !l” So I rebutted I think my sister would know her own title and just tried to change topics so I wouldn’t get heated Why would someone say something so ignorant ? She’s literally helping bring new research No it’s not the latest cancer cure but education is important. Her focus is on literacy. [/quote]
