"What are you going to do with that?!"
A few weeks ago at work I was chatting with a client while I was ringing up her purchases. She was about to graduate from nursing school and I mentioned that I was also in graduate school too - hoping to graduate this May. Somewhere in the middle of our conversation I also mentioned that I had an undergraduate degree in business. She then commended me for getting my MBA and said that was an awesome thing to have and would probably allow me to do whatever it was I wanted to do in the future. I didn't have to heart to tell her I wasn't getting my MBA and was actually getting a Master's in Fashion Merchandising...so I simply went with it, saying thank you and allowing her to go on her way. As soon as she left I began to question why I didn't immediately correct her and tell her what I was actually going to school for. Then I got to thinking...(and clearly channeling my inner Carrie Bradshaw)...Who I adore , by the way... Something funny happens ...
