In reply to what are your family's ideas about education?, posted by Medusa on January 24, 2004, at 9:58:42
Medusa,
Your post really made me think. I have been really hurt by my family's lack of support for my education. I am pursusing a doctorate, and currently am the only one in the family with a Master's. My dad dropped out of college, mostly due to alcoholism but he would never admit that. My brother never finished high school. Both seem quite intimidated about my own education. I get so frustrated and hurt by their smarmy and snide attempts to make themselves feel superior. My education and chosen field really has nothing to do with them, and I don't know why it seems so threatening. AAARGHHH!Regards,
gg
