Overconcerned Relatives

I was at my Grandmother's place today and my Uncle chatted abit with me. He was asking when I finish NS. He may seem insincere,but I dont know what level his kids are studying at also. Its not my business.

I replied that im already in University and going to graduate this May.So he ask what I was studying, "Er Economics".

"Why choose Economics?"

I told him I got no idea so study for fun,better that marketing. I think he's trying to say Economics is useless by asking where im going to work after graduating. Saying that I will be stuck in Banks forever.After that he persuaded me to get another Degree so next time got chance to be Chief Financial Officer.

But then, take another Degree for what? Waste time I told him. Might as well go get CFA if im really interested. Your smart but then im not you what, my Mum dont poke her nose into my affairs and why should you? In a mocking manner somemore, at least from my point of view.

I told him I dont need to climb so high to be a CFO because I know I dont have that ability. Just enough to get by will be good for me. Throughout the conversation I was shifting my eyes to the TV to stop the chat but he kept asking, end up I walked away.

Hes not a bad guy la but I just dont like people running my life. You already had your life why wana take mine as well? Im no puppet. Even if I end up homeless also not your problem. Thanks.
