Just talk to my mother and here is part of the conversation:
mom: Marci, I am just not sure you are thinking this career path out. I think once you are in it, you are going to hate it.
me: Well, mom, I think I will decide that when I am quite a bit in debt and through 5 more years of my life, paralleling this career with a healthy career of prostitution to help pay my student loans. But thanks for your support.
mom: What I am saying is, that I every one I know in the psychological world is really crazy. Not like our family is crazy, I am saying CRAZY, and I am just don't think you are nuts enough.
me: Mom, this is Marci, do you know me?
Now I just thought there were unsupportive of me coming back to school, but it turns out they just don't know me at all. But this might be the nicest thing she has said to me in awhile.
