AITA? Reaction

15. Telling a friend that her degree is useless.

AITA for telling my (f26) friend (f26) that her degree is useless if she has to leave the country to find work?

Yes.

I have a high school friend, Diana, whom recently got her Masters degree. She lived in another city and we barely ever saw each other and she was always “too busy”

Why is this on quotes? You don't believed she's busy? I already don't like you.

for long phone calls so we only talked briefly every now and then.

During the time she spent on her degrees, I managed to get married and start my own family.

Diana was visiting her family and we met up for lunch. I asked her about her degree, work prospects, etc. (She did her masters in translation or interpreting or something like that) and she said she got the job but will have to move to Brussels. I told her that’s crazy. If she can’t find a job locally, then her degree was a waste of time if she has to move to another country.

Well, genius, counting her degree have something to do with languages, translation and interpretation is pretty normal to have to move.

She said it’s an amazing job opportunity that she couldn’t get anywhere around here (apparently the job is related to EU parliament or whatever, I admit it, I lost her with all the abbreviations she was using).

I don't know, I feel the problem is that you didn't really care to listen.

She again said that it’s an amazing opportunity and she’s excited.

She's happy, so why did it matter?

I asked her about the pay and she told me. I said that my husband earns that without a degree so I was right about the Easter of time and money, and she said it’s  starting salary and it’ll grow because the first year I saw pretty much training and being in a junior position.

Which I bet is different for her husband, that his salary won't increase.

I again said that she could’ve gotten a similar job here

Doubt.

and wouldn’t have wasted 6 years Andy instead could’ve already work Andy start a family.

My brain didn't brain for a few seconds, but I guess the "Andy" are "and".

Girl, are you maybe jealous because you are unhappy with your family and you can't stand your friend being happy with a job?

And here’s where she was rude, she said that if she was to be as unhappy as I was, she didn’t want a family’s.

I was right, ahahah.

She threw in my face that apparently I’m always complaining about my husband but I’m criticising her, he’s the best husband in the world.
I told her she’s ridiculous and mean

You started this girl.

and she called me an asshole, paid and left the restaurant.
I to,d my friends about this and they’re split in who’s the asshole here so tell me, Aita for telling her the truth?

YTA. You didn't tell any truth.
