I just don't understand this mentality from a professional and I am embarrased to be a part of such a self devaluating culture. I have realized that there is only one way to change my situation. So, if things don't change in a few years, I will. I'm preparing for it by going back to school. We will see...
I have had people tell me that before also. I'll never understand it given the fact that it is usually said while we are AT WORK and not at home.
