Yes, all the time! It’s frustrating and disheartening that people feel the need to discourage others from pursing higher education. However, my advice is: don’t let the haters get their negativity in your head—turn it to fuel! I know it’s easier said than done, I too am fallible for allowing others negativity affect me, but we need more positivity in higher positions, so keep trucking! The thing is, when people discourage others, it speaks far more to their own character than anything else. I tend to think– if this is how they are speaking to me, how much worst is their own internal dialogue towards pursing their goals in life?
