[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone I just met asked me what my DD is doing and I said she is getting her MSW. The woman responded, “Fun” in what I perceived to be a dismissive way. [b]DD has a clear career path, a terrific paid internship, graduated from a top school and is at a top grad program[/b]. She will graduate without loans. I don’t get the judgment on kids who don’t go into more prestigious fields like IB, medicine, law, or even CS or engineering. She asked about my DS and he is pursuing one of the above fields and she was a lot more interested in that. I didn’t really respond. How should I respond? Still bothers me several days later.[/quote] But even if none of this were true, a MSW would still be valuable, right? It sounds like you feel a little defensive about her choice. Maybe you have your own private misgivings or conflicts and that's why this is nagging at you. Or you fear that DD will face this kind of dismissive comment about her career in the future?[/quote]
