The Average Joe's Thread - no rich snobbery allowed.

Kinda sick off all the snobbery on here mainly from students who are doing medicine/STEM and think they're entitled to peer down on us mere mortals from the top of mount academia..

So this thread has been set up by myself, a mere hard working peasant who had her chances snatched away by a mixture of daft parenting, mental health and a million other issues - and yes I have worked my butt off and got a place at a university I really like doing what I want to do, which I think is more important than any league table or prestige.

So, fellow 'paupers', discuss! Haha :biggrin:

I eat out occasionally and can afford nice things if I save.
I don't have to eat pasta daily. But I can't afford holidays.

I think that the term "Average Joe" is a little degrading. :tongue:

Nobody is rich on TSR most of us are well off but not rich.

I've always had an interest in it, more recently decided that I'd like to have a career in that field though. :biggrin:

I meant it sarcastically, since I've seen quite a few threads/posts recently degrading people who don't get into the top 5 unis or study STEM subjects, which annoys me because it doesn't mean these people are any less clever, they've just made different choices :s-smilie:

Not really. Thay wasn't my point. Why would you want to call yourself 'average' or say that 'I'm happy with being average?' :/
