Seriously? Why can't I be taken seriously?

Okay, so I know I'm not an expert, I understand that I am a student. However, in less than 4 months I will be receiving my Master's degree in PSYCHOLOGY, which means that I will be qualified to give an opinion. A professional opinion at that. Why then, is it that when I say something about a psychological issue, people do not take me seriously or assume I do not know what I am talking about. What do they think I do all day, sit in a classroom with my thumb up my ass. No. Actually, I work like a dog. I kill myself in the classroom so that I can give a professional opinion. Hell, I put myself through grad school is 11 months. HELLO - I think that warrants a little respect - hell I think that warren's a LOT of respect. Obviously I am doing something right. I know that I don't have a ton of life experience, and I am well aware that what happens in a textbook doesn't always happen in real life, however, I am pretty sure that as a soon to be Master's graduate, one can at least take my opinion with a little weight.

Sorry to vent, but I feel like I can't even vent without someone interrupting or questioning how I am feeling...

*sigh* I feel better now, so hopefully I will actually be able to sleep tonight. Oh and I am super excited to get the new Harry Potter dvd Friday. Hello awesome weekend.

Thanks for reading. I know that if you are actually reading the shit I write, you must care about me. Either that or you are a creepy stalker with the screen name 'Watchmewatchu' Maybe you will understand that reference - if not just ask.
