It's the 21st century, guys!

Oh dear. Here comes another rant.

People are always surprised that I'm a business major. They usually say, "aren't you an elementary education major?" as if since I'm a cute blonde girl, I must be into that. I'm not dissing the ElEd major, but that's so not me. And its frustrating that I get this surprised reaction a lot because no one expects me to be a business major. No, it's not typical, but that doesn't mean it's not possible.

Wake up boys. It's the 21st century, more women are getting college degrees than men are. More women are getting jobs than men are. It is NOT uncommon to have a woman in business. Just because I don't have man parts doesn't mean I don't have a brain too. I'm sorry that you're intimidated that I might actually be smarter than you, but the way to answer that is NOT to make sexist comments. Grow a pair and work harder!

Side note: I have an amazing teammate who treats me like an equal, and even defends me in front of my other teammates when they make sexist comments. He's my hero today. :)
