growing up, i'd be like "i'm going to be a doctor" and people were always like "wow. that's great!" and they'd seem so supportive.
now people are all like "how's the application process going?" and I give them the "8 no's, 18 I don't know's, waiting for a freakin' interview, not sure what's going to happen, etc." and the response is always the same..."why would you want to go to school for so long? my 4th cousin twice removed's wife's uncle was a doctor and he hated it. oh and my doctor is terrible...she only spends like 2 minutes with me...and she's broke because she has to pay malpractice insurance...blahde blah blah blah."
i just try to avoid those particularly negative people at work. i just hide from them in my cube or try to dodge them in the hallway. doesn't always work though...
