Today, in my college class, our teacher asked us what we wanted to do when we get out of college. I guess being a U.S. Marine gets you a lecture for the whole class to hear that I'm a war hungry pig, and should get a real job that requires a brain. My job field is Aircraft repair. FML

End student debt

Today, I'm in a US college. I could've gone into a trade or internship, but no one listened. Now, while my parents brag to their friends that their child has a degree, I'll probably be spending the rest of life in crippling debt, sleeping on the side of the road, and begging strangers for table scraps.

Today, my son's teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He put down "unemployed". FML

Today, I was pretending to be a veteran for the US Navy at a local outlet, because I was desperate for cheap stuff. All was going well, until an actual vet pointed out that the ship I had on my naval hat was a fictitious one. Shit. FML

America, hell yeah brother

Today, my teacher's comments on my essay read, "I know it's college, but you use a lot of unnecessary words with a lot of syllables." He basically scolded me for having a complex vocabulary. I go to an accredited state university. Nothing says "America" like under-achieving professors. FML

Today, my dad drunkenly ranted about how I should volunteer for the military because of the crisis in the Middle East. I refused; I'm in college on two scholarships and have listened to stories of why his service still gives him nightmares. I had to hide all the phones to keep him from calling the recruiters. FML

Today, I went to my high school reunion. I was super excited to see what everyone had done in their lives. The nerdy guy I bullied is now a U.S. Marine and already has two deployments in Afghanistan under his belt. He looked at me in his dress blues and said, "I remember you." FML

Today, a few army recruiters came to my school to discuss their jobs with us. When asked to say our name and what we wanted to do when we were older, I said I wanted to be a prosecutor. Everyone started laughing. Turns out everyone thought I said prostitute, including the recruiters. FML

Today, my dad called me a "worthless human being", and told me that I'm "better off committing crimes and living life in a prison cell", all because I haven't gotten into the industry I studied for right out of college. I'm currently at a temp job doing accounting. FML

Today, I found out my extremely anti-war relatives hate me because they think I served in the Army, after hearing I was "a vet". I'm a veterinarian. FML

Okay, Being a U.S. Marine is an actual job! So to all of you who don't think it is shove it up your ass you deserve to be shot in the face!

You deserve it for not realizing you are not really being educated, you are there to be indoctrinated with liberal propaganda. I bet the teacher would have loved it if you said you wanted to be a community organizer or to join the peace corps. Remember to vote on election day and tell all your likeminded friends. :-)

Your professor needs to be reminded that without the military, he would lack the freedom to make stupid remarks like that.

I call BS on this. This is one of those "truthiness" things that people make up because they think it could happen when it never really could.

Wow. Thats ****** up that your professor would go that deep as to talk about someone whos a marine or let alone talk about anyone thats serving our military. What you should have told him was to stop being an asshoe to find a real job instead of his fatass sitting behind a desk moaning and bitching cause his paperwork has to be turned in for every grade. Far as im concerned u do have a real job hun. Your doing more with your life then he has ever done with his. **** him u got the brains he doesnt have shit except a job that will leave him on strike
