Dear Queenie,
My son is working on an advanced degree in social work. He is looking forward to having a rewarding career in that field, but when he talks to his friends about it they tell him “that’s too bad” and make disparaging remarks about how he’ll never get rich that way.
Queenie, what can he say to them that won’t be rude?—Proud mother
Dear Mother,
He (and you) can tell them how proud he is (you are) that he will be able to make a significant positive difference in many people’s lives. End of discussion.
