Spotted this nugget yesterday in the parking lot of my doctor.
Back when I was finishing high school (and I was an honor student if that means my career GPA was well over three on the four-point scale), Mom ranted on and on about how useless a degree in Communication was. Allegedly some (nameless) friend of hers had a son who had this as his major and he was now waiting tables. Then again, some economists classify what I do as the service industry/sector but I think the connotation in most Americans’ minds has the phrase synonymous with restaurant work.
I think this parent just has a sense of humor.
