Foid complains her family doesn't think her two masters degrees in english are as good as her brother who got his physics PhD from Cambridge

This was all i needed to read, this gave me everything in need to know

The foid is wrong but

There's a thing that happens with people who have fairly average intelligence when they encounter someone who "sounds" smart, a sort of instinctive thing where they assume the smart person is not talking absolute bollocks because they're using big words and terms they don't understand and they seem self-assured.

this is so true, I even had freshman classmates 3 weeks into univerity that started talking about "how this must be statistically significant" or "yeah but that would have a pretty low p value" in everyday conversation thinking they sound smart/cool. Maybe this wowed their still highschool girlfriend, but please shut the frick up.

Just go NC with your family and extended family..

Some people value science field more than arts.

lol

Any PhD who self-assuredly calls themself intelligent may not have been paying enough attention.

>two First Class Masters degrees in literature from a world class university

>Name drops Cambridge

She didn't go to a world class university.

This dumb b-word is just jelly and seething she's no longer the golden child.

a PHD in physics or math mogs the frick out of literally any combination of english degrees you can get.

[Never earned over £25k in a year, never had a salaried position with the benefits and security, frequently underemployed and overlooked by employers because they see little worth in lit studies. I did the extra education because I wanted to do a PhD, not because I thought it would make me money which, in this part of the world, it really doesn't. Had to go back to uni to get an extra qualification in marketing just so I could get a job that isn't waitressing.] (https://old.reddit.com/r/offmychest/comments/18ytdhj/my_family_says_my_brother_is_a_genius_and_treat/kgnkn1q/?context=8)

>I spent years in school for two degrees that cannot possibly help me get a job

>why doesn't my working class family think I'm smart

People think Mandela was a genius? The frick

I mean, she can probably go make more money than him in the corporate world if she leverages her two Masters degrees into some kind of management position.

good morning
