[QUOTE="AB831, post: 4502070, member: 80184"] He started off by telling me how I'd never amount to anything with an English degree and how FedEx would be the best job I've ever had. When I said that there are a PLETHORA of economy-proof jobs available for those who majored in English, he doubled down on how stupid of a major it was and listed all of the ones I should do if I were actually smart. At this point, I asked him what his major was and he refuses to answer the question because he didn't go to college and conceding that to someone he's trying to belittle who actually did would shatter his illusion of superiority. So in a futile attempt to save face for himself, he skirted the question that would embarrass him and pivoted to telling me how I'll never amount to anything because of my soon-to-be "criminal record" from the heinous transgression of taking my break during the sort. Very insecure people like himself resort to belittling the accomplishments of others because they feel threatened that someone, anyone could possibly end up doing better than them. It's a loser's mentality, but it can fixed by seeking professional help. That would be my only piece of advice to him at this point. [/QUOTE]
