Interviewer (girl around my age): All of the above. Now that I think about it, it's funny that you were a History major because we have a lot of post-grads who've studied Sociology, Psychology, just a lot of social science majors like yours.

Me: ....


I know she was just trying to be friendly and help me relate to the work environment... but really, my thoughts were: "Thank you for pointing out that our college careers studying the complexity of human society have been a waste of money. I doubt that any of us planned to end up here."

But, I guess, the fault is mine. I've never really had a solid plan.
