Heh, I've already had several mock-arguments in my head now... "Hey, Mom, I'd really appreciate it if you stopped asking me because I'm very stressed" which degenerates quickly into a "This is why you won't get a job, because you have such a bad attitude!" or "Mommy is just trying to help you, why are you being so stubborn?"
I think one of the toughest thing is that I don't know many liberal-arts people... everyone around me growing up was an engineer. Well, ninety percent, or something like that. Five percent of the rest were business people. They've all got careers, and are going places, and all the networking people I'm talking to are like that too. It makes me feel so small and stupid.
And I know career advisor lady is there to pressure me so I get stuff done, except the pressure drives me completely around the bend sometimes. Sigh.
