Listen... Not everyone here is from an english speaking country. So, maybe Astronomy is called differently in his country. And if he doesnt speak perfect english, it doesn't mean, that he is stupid.

don`t be so rude to the poster, maybe he is not an english speaker and just translated it wrong... anyway, i think that the counselor thought that he was stupid before he came to the office and was surprised that he could read or whatever... "real professional" to say something like that

Haha, #2, I was about to say the same thing.

#12 is hilarious. #22, yeah there's a building going up by where I live and there are so many conduction workers there in the morning... #25, umm yeah being stupid can end your dreams. You can't be a world-class engineer or innovative research scientist without knowing a thing or two. And did you ever think that maybe counselors and advisers have a passion for helping other people figure out their lives and what they want to be?

You probably meant astronomer so you definitely deserved that. Sorry.

That seriously sucks. I mean, yes, it is technically an astronomer, but that's only a technicality. The idiot should have been doing their job and encouraged you, not torn you down so badly.

ouch. astronomer. you deserved that one.

I say sue the guidance counselor and school. That way you can pay for college as you learn to become an astrologist :)

Um... Astronomers study the stars, planets, universes etc. from a scientific standpoint. Astrologers - like you said - study zodiacs and the stars orientated with religious beliefs etc. Your councilor shouldn't have called you stupid professionally, and should have corrected you, but I think even I'd have giggled and called you a dork. That's not to say I've never made a mistake like that.

Guys, he could have actually been saying that he wants to be a fortune teller. It takes a pretty decent level of (misapplied) intelligence to be that good of a liar.
