Usually a disbelieving look Its normally on nights out that people ask me, and I'm dressed in a little short skirt, drunk etc. so when I say I do medicine people do not seem too convinced. Although actually it tends to be guys who do that, most girls are just like 'ooh you must be really clever!' Too which I respond awkwardly with something like 'supposedly '
lol next time anyone says 'oh you must be clever' say; ' yeah, sometimes my neck starts hurting.' their immediate response would be... 'why's that' and then vainly say ' because my brain is so big'
Well I am studying sociology, so I am sure you can imagine I tend to get responses such as;
Oh through clearing?... Shame
Does that even count as a degree?
You will end up nowhere!
etc... etc... I just laugh it off now and say something along the lines of; I don't come into your line of work and tell you how to suck .... so don't try tell me how to go about my career!
i study a level sociology so i get that all the time from people who see it as a micky mouse subject, because they are the maths and pure sciences brigade, and then they have the cheek to ask me what the subject even is! i think that says it all really. go you for doing what you want to do though, we need sociologists regardless of what these idiots say!
Im doing Business Studies, and their response usually is 'are you going to run your own business?'. My answer - no, because ive seen the large amount of cr@p you have to organise, deal with and i can't be bothered with it.
I study psychology and almost laugh to myself before mentioning this, simply because I know full well that they will respond by saying something along the lines of; "Oooh, don't figure me out!", "better watch what I say around you then, eh!". Makes me feel like a right manipulative cow!
Person: O' rly? Can you check out my rash? Medical Student:
I'm curious....how are you a medical student and a police cadet as I always thought that police cadets were future policemen in training....and yet you are in med school......
I usually get a "what is that course?" Or I get "wow that seems hard." Or I get "you must be pretty smart then." Or I get "oh my friend is doing chemistry" It's bloody Biochemistry, not chemistry. How hard is it to know that it's biology and chemistry together.
