I'm 26 and taking my Nursing pre-reqs and met up with some old friends tonight. I see them occasionally (when I decide to go out for a drink). I moved away for a few years to a major city and came back to finish school since it was cheaper and they've told me they were jealous of my leaving.
Moving to a big city changed me in a lot of ways and I also learned how to become independent. I learned not to cut corners and that anything worth having will take time and come with obstacles. That aside, we were talking about men tonight and I said he has to be college educated with at least an Associate's. I see it as only fair since I'm working towards a BSN and possibly a NP later on. It's not so much what they major in but that they stuck with it, to me that shows determination.
So because of this they made remarks about how I shouldn't be hanging out with them since they don't have an Associate's and I tried to explain that I want better than what I grew up with and I see nothing wrong with shooting for higher.
Am I what you would consider a "snob" because of this?
They also date guys who are not career driven and have the rock start appeal. I older I get the more I stick out with this crowd.
Cotton- when you're moving from crummy apartment to crummy apartment growing up and you're surrounded by kids your age who do drugs and are in general bad influences, I don't see how you wouldn't want more. I want more for my own family, I don't want them to go through the struggles I went through. That is what I mean. I'm really not trying to come off snobby, but I guess some will see it that way?
