So I don't work at the moment, I'm just focusing on school to complete my master's. I get paid VA disability and school money from the military since I'm out. So I still live with my mom, she let's me stay to save up some more money to eventually get a house. So my 9 yr cousin came over with her mom. She came up to me and was questioning what my job was so I told her I don't work just go to school. She whispered and said "you're 25 you need a job to get your own place, and this isn't your house and you need to pay bills, you have to get a job to find your own path" I was like omg did she just say that to me. So nobody heard it but I was shocked because she had to have heard it from her grandmas (my aunt). I felt a certain type of way because I'm like that just came outta nowhere. I pay help pay bills but that's just ridiculous.
You think my family was talking about me around my little cousin?

So you are all twisted up over something a 9 year old said? That's Hall of Fame sensitive there.
It's not that she's 9 it's that she got it from somebody else...
Yeah... and? ... what are you going to do? People are going to talk shit about you no matter what.
Will you be able to get a job with this Masters or is it a gibberish degree?
Does it matter? I'm talking about my cousin.
If you can actually get a job than you can respond "school is my job, until I leave and get a great job".
If you are just hiding in grad school than the kid is right.
Not that, it's just the fact she came up and said it. She had to have heard it from someone
I agree with you, somebody is judging you by their standards, not understanding your goals and she heard them
