I don’t think I could ever make my parents proud

I graduated with a food science degree and worked in hospitals for 2 years trying to get myself into food service with patients. Things didn’t workout so I left to work retail while I found a job I really enjoyed.

I was at retail for 1.5 years. While I was there my mom told me not to tell anyone where I worked and just say I still worked at a hospital. So I did until a relative saw me with my shirt that had my name tag. I told them I was doing retail while I figured it out.

Long story short I got a position in hospitality as an event sales coordinator ….we make sure the events flow properly and check on the food being carried out…make sales. It’s nice.

So it’s the general manager—-the director—-and then me (sales) and everyone else so my position is pretty good and I get great pay.

I love it but there are days where I work 10-12 hours depending on the events. When I make a sale I have to double check the venue to make sure it’s just like how I sold it.

So yesterday my aunt asked me about this job and I said I was out late because we were adjusting some tables. I wasn’t physically doing it. I was just telling the guys to follow the diagram I had made for the client. Pretty much I get to “boss” and people do it for me….

Just right now my parents said I shouldn’t be saying that bc they’re going to think I’m the janitor or cleaning service

I feel like I have to prove people so I posted my business cards and name tag of my desk.

My mother saw and they’re mad that I’m posting my job title.

I feel like I’m just a failure to them. Yes I got a bachelors in nutrition science and idk what they want me to do ??? A doctor? A dietician???

I feel like I’m just an embarrassment to them since I don’t have a title like a doctor or lawyer
