Today, I found out that the girl I tutored in high school in basic ENGLISH just received her PhD in Biophysics. I am now the manager of a McDonald's. I was also the Valedictorian of our graduating class. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I lost my job to a girl that graduated with the same bachelor's degree from the same college as me. She also got a master's in an unrelated field. I've been working there 7 months, and her master's in maths apparently makes her a better athletic trainer than me. FML
Today, was my graduation from a prestigious university. In two days I start working at a hot dog stand. FML
Today, my former high school bully became my manager. FML
Today, I found out that my friend makes more money than I do. She's a high school dropout and working at a retail job at the mall. I went to college for four years to get my job. FML
Today, my mom was named principal of the school I go to. FML
Today, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML
Today, I found out that my ex-girlfriend got engaged to a coworker. I got her the job. FML
Today, I was at working at Burger King as a cashier. A girl I met last night came in and said, "Aren't you that guy from last night?" Last night, I had told her I was going to medical school and was going to be a doctor in less than a year. FML
Today, I found out my daughter has a higher paid job in the same company I work in. I also found out she is dating my boss. FML
Today, I walked at my graduation ceremony, proudly wearing my valedictorian cords. It turns out that, after some confusion on behalf of the student services office, I was neither valedictorian nor salutatorian (by 0.2 points). I'm dating the actual valedictorian. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

LOL #1. You do know that Biophysics doesn't have that much of a correlation to English, right? You should get up and DO something about your situation instead at looking at what others are doing.

Being a valedictorian doesn't mean anything if you don't proceed on from there. If you had the chance to but didn't, YDI. If you didn't have the chance due to a lack of funds or something, well, FYL. But pointing point that she was tutored by you in English doesn't say much. I also tutor a lot of my friends in English. They just tutor me back in other subjects.

Seriously, if you're feeling that unsuccessful, use your transferable skills to move to a higher management position, and quit snubbing an intelligent woman because you thought you were better than her in high school. Be proud of helping her achieve her PhD instead!

Everyone assumes the OP was too lazy to either go to college at all or find the scholarships etc. to pay for it. Life deals a wide variety of shit cards, not just financial-- illness, for example. My husband and I didn't go to a traditional college. We're both extremely bright and finished an intense training program for a highly specialized career path. We can't follow that path, though, because I had an accident and am now disabled. So my husband's working at a mindless landscaping job to make ends meet and provide health insurance. We're going to college now, but it would have been a very unwise choice right after high school. I just love how so many people blast the OP for jumping to conclusions and making judgments, without knowing the full story themselves. Collective Pot, meet Kettle.

YDI for not going to college and assuming people who have problems with English are dumb.

whoa whoa whoa. Who's to say the OP didn't go to college? In case you guys haven't noticed, America's job market kind of sucks. A lot of college graduates have ended up in food service. It doesn't mean they haven't tried to go somewhere! OP: You're an asshole for assuming that someone you tutored in a basic couldn't get a PhD. You should be proud, not bitter.

YDI. If you're so bloody great, why aren't you doing the PhD? If it's financial problems, find alternative routes like the rest of us. Not exactly hard.
