Zorak of Michigan posted:My wife is a professor of education, and constantly meets prospective students who think you need a doctorate on education, when what they really need is a master's in their field, a doctorate in their field, a certification in a specific professional subject, or sometimes nothing at all. Accordingly, I wonder if this woman has made a fully informed choice. But that doesn't seem to be the OPs concern, and professors of education need to eat, so let the nice lady get that PhD. I work in tertiary education on a trades and engineering focused campus, in my case to be accepted for my role I needed: My trade qual, a 4 year apprenticeship. Advanced trade, which requires a minimum of 2 years working at trade level followed by additional exams, then a written application to our governing organisation who go over your work history to see if you have sufficient breadth of experience. Batchelor of adult education Diploma in adult literacy and numeracy (vocational applications) That got me in the door for a one year trial to see if I could handle teaching. We regularly lose about 60% of our staff after one year because teaching 20 odd students is significantly harder and more stressful than the trade. Anyone in stem who talks down about "soft science" is talking out their rear end.

If i'm aiming for a specific flavor mixture or texture etc. I will prepare someone else's plate but a big family meal you're gonna plate your own poo poo. There's a time and a place for intricate plating and just no. Do it for everyone or tell the picky eater to gently caress off and figure it out.

It's hard to imagine someone who's a professional wedding/event planner being so shocked shocked that people aren't going to cancel their cruise to attend.

I'd laugh them out the front door asking if they needed a diaper change and a nap too. But even if you enjoy making a plate for everyone as part of your hosting, have the picky eater do his own anyway. It's not like it has to be all or nothing. I'm confused how that's not an option. If I had that kind of hang-up, I'd take responsibility for my own problem and request that I get to make my own plate.

A car driving onto the screen and honking its horn twice before driving off is exactly the weird kind of "fatality-but-not" thing that the OG mortal kombat games would do I was going to look some of them up but apparently they made a new Mortal Kombat game called Mortal Kombat 1. What the gently caress?

I am accepting of a lot of things but I was a picky eater because nobody ever challenged me. I’d gag if someone gave me vegetables etc very pathetic. I then moved abroad when I was 19 and was constantly challenged to the point where I got over it. Not one single person in Southeast Asia let me get away with it and now there’s nothing I won’t eat.

My FIL has both the "no food touching" and "has to eat the food in a specific order" (veggies, then starch, then meat) things. I never noticed having had dinner with his family several times until my husband mentioned it to me. Everyone plated their own food and he'd grab an extra bowl or small plate if there was danger of gravy migrating around or whatever. He didn't throw a tantrum and trash the food out like that jerk, just quietly worked with/around his own issue.

there's a phenomenon in psychology, that i can't remember the name of right now, where an artifact becomes permanently tainted by coming in contact with something foul even if the artifact is cleaned or isn't actually affected. like for instance the dog shits all over the floor and you use a towel to clean it up -- no matter how many times you wash it, that towel is the Dog Diarrhea Towel forever. or the bed that grandma died in is always Grandma's Deathbed, even with a new mattress and sheets and everything. maybe this thing about food being permanently inedible because some other food touched it is indicative of a problem in that part of the brain

Captain Hygiene posted:Seems like she's doing it purely for her own interest, I'm not sure the specific choice of degree or certification even matters beyond what she wants to do in this case. Yeah, mum had a career in "proper science", retired, and in retirement is teaching little kiddies about electricity. She is enjoying the teaching, and the getting out of the house etc. so is looking to get a degree in education to learn more about teaching the kids, and possibly teach more/higher levels. She is doing everything right for herself, and her career, and mos importantlytly for her well being. Her shithead son/OP is going "No! You should only get a degree if it leads directly to a high paying corporate job. Anything other than that is useless. Also education??? You should be getting a degree in molecular biology, (to go along with your other degrees), because that is proper science as opposed to the namby pamby working with people learning you intend to do. I, as your son, sternly disapprove." He is the arsehole for several reasons
