Discouraged
Now that people know who I am. They judge me, sometimes I wish I wasn't so "educated." I really like everyone, they just judge me because I'm so young man! Now, I really do want to "lay low" and avoid everyone.
Don't let the 'haters' get in your way Mckeala! Education is awesome and you should be so proud of any accomplishments. We now live in a world where 19 year olds start businesses that grow to billions$$ ! So being young has never been cooler too.
My suggestion is not to lay low but keep forging ahead and if your current circle of friends/coworkers don't support and celebrate your goals and successes then find new groups. Volunteering is always a great way to broaden relationships for example.
Keep strong and remember - you got a lot of Jobcasers out here rooting for you!!!!
McKeala,
You education is the key to opening doors that those who are attempting to discourage you could never even begin to approach. All of us get paid for what we know or have the ability to learn and the apply. So for those who do not understand you just smile at them and keep moving forward.
Down the road when they may end up working for you then maybe they will understand.
