"Oh, I thought you were pre-med because of your major." I practically hear the disappointment trumpet when people find out I'm going for a Masters or PhD and not an MD. It's not that I couldn't be a medical doctor, it's just not what I want to do, and I'm sure many nurses are the same way.
Related to that: "Are you going to do cancer research?"
No. I'm going to study plant problems, not people problems, because that's what I find more interesting. Cancer is not the only important field of research in the world.

This.
Always the disappointment when finding out that I don't want to be a therapist or clinical psychologist, but am getting my Masters in psychology. Like it's the only road to take upon graduation.
