I am currently a college student working to get her Doctorate in Pharmacy. My dorm roommate has recently talked to me about her switching majors. She wants to go to from the medical pathway to the pharmacy pathway. When I asked her why, she says because she ‘feels like it’s less to handle.’ 

I don’t know if I’m supposed to take offense to this, but it kind of makes me feel weird. In my opinion, they’re two completely different fields. I find it insulting that she thinks that it’s a few steps down from her program. I just told her ‘oh, I guess,’ trying not to cause an unnecessary argument, but I just feel weird about it. I’m definitely not gonna talk to her about it again because I know this is stupid but I still have that weird uncomfortable feeling.
