Since I've come home from 8 months overseas every question seems to be "So what are you doing with the rest of your life?". The final straw was my GP today giving me the why don't you have husband/career/PhD/mortgage third degree. I then got a lecture on how I can't just keep having fun, I need to continue studying (which I do intend to do) and then he launched into a spiel on how his kids have high distinctions in their chemical engineering degrees AND they spent a year in Israel. Did I actually ask?
I'm sick of strangers telling me what I'm doing with my life isn't good enough. I'm not 30 and on the dole (welfare) with no prospects of doing anything. I'm just trying to get this out of the way so I don't have some sort of crisis in a decade or two when I am tied down with kids and a mortgage and wish I had spent a year or so travelling.
/end rant.
So does anyone else constantly get quizzed by ''concerned'' distant relatives or family friends or someone you went to high school with 3 years ago about why no boyfriend or kids or house or something? Grr.
