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.

Of course not but high school is very study based. It hardly requires any sort of special intelligence at all. Nothing in high school (because of the nature of the material presented) is too hard. Anyone who works their butts off studying definitions and doing homework in high school could pull off being the valedictorian. (as long as it's based on gpa)..But even the ACT/SAT is also a lot of memorization (regardless of an aptitude claim) The same doesnt always work in college... Some degrees actually require that extra 'click' or geuine interest to make happen. As well as 'learning' not just 'memorizing. English is a syntax based subject, the grammar and 'learning' invovled is basicaly memorizing.... The same cannot be said for some problems in Biophysics.

What is the point in being a valedictorian if your not even gonna go to college

Don't worry about it. You said she just got her PhD, that doesn't mean she's got a job to go with it. I know more than a few people with degrees, including one with a PhD that have jobs that pay like crap and have nothing to do with their degrees. At least as a McD's manager you get that company car, right?

Biophysics (or at least medical physics) actually has a huge job market depending on what she is doing....

yep. that's what he'll say at his high school reunion. I can see it now... " Yea, you all may have those fancy-like PhD's but looks who's driving the Oscar Mayer Wiener van. PWN"

it sucks to look at it that way, but truth be told its your fault that you stayed in such a low-income job- do something about it now, before you waste any more time in a job and lifestyle that you are not happy with. And good for that other girl.. it seems like she actually tried to accomplish things in her life that she can be proud of. YDI

Funny. I worked at Burger King for 2 years. During part of that, I worked under 3 managers that had college degrees. A diploma's just a piece of paper if nobody's hiring.

YDI. If you don't like where you are in life, go do something about it instead of whining on the internet.
