A few days ago at work this girl I knew came in. She asked me how Ive been. I tell her that I might be getting promoted to Supervisor of my department. Her response was to laugh at me and walk off. It is probably cause I work at Walmart and Im not going to college yet. Im saving up. But is that even an apprortate response? Whats wrong with working to save up for college? She said that her parents are paying for all her expenses. At least Im contributing to funding my education.

She wasn't laughing at you for saving up your money for school. She was laughing at the idea of you getting promoted. ;)

Its not just her. Almost everyone around me is critical of my choice to work there. Its starting to get to me. Like deep underneath my skin. But I guess its kinda funny that she is halfway through her sophmore year and has no clue of what her major is going to be.

Sounds like she's not worth worrying about anyways, because she probably has no concept of work or what it takes to earn your way through life. Also inconsiderate for being so uncaring about your feelings and not even take the time to think how it might make you feel to laugh at your situation (Which most people would respect, because you are working and doing for yourself instead of depending on others to do so for you) and then walk off dismissing you without so much as a look back. So I'd just do the same, dismiss her from my life and go on with my own looking for people with more substance to them than she has to take along into the future with me.

I think that's great that you are saving money for college and not other things while your parents spoil you.

It shows that you are hard workin' and will become successful.. I hope (Just don't give up)

She probably thinks you're a Walmart lifer. When I worked at Target (while i was in college), there were several people who claimed they were saving up to go on to school. I think of those people 1 of maybe 6 of them actually did.

Honestly, your best bet is just to ignore the laughter and just prove her wrong. Get your money, get your degree, then just live your life. And if you want, send her a facebook message after you graduate or something and shove it in her face. There are turds everywhere, no matter where you work. Just do what you do and ignore the people who are turds to you.

How is a job better than any other job, within its own right? Kinda depends on whos doing it and what he/she feels about him/her doing what he/she is doing. Unless your statement should be viewn in a sociological sense, or any other frame which does not keep focal point on the individual in question. If this is the case, please elaborate.

Murder her parents. Make sure your wearing a trench coat and wear eye shadow at the time, so the blame will be passed to the Gothic sub-culture and not the games industry, those guys can take it.

I can believe it happened, but that sucks, I am sure you will go further in life than someone who shows that type of snobbery anyway.

My parents pay. So what? I'm lucky enough, why should I work more than I have to when I should focus on my work and getting laid?

She said that her parents are paying for all her expenses.

Was this before or after she walked off? I'm confused.

Maybe she laughed because she thinks you're not mature or responsible enough to be a supervisor. But if it really was you're working and not having everthing handed to you then she's probably a spoiled batch.
