In my case my family is very blue collar with a dollop of uneducated white trash and I'm the first person in our family to go to university. Anything that they don't understand and doesn't involve physical labour is not "real". Why waste my time on science hocus pocus when I can do real honest work like sewing? They consider my cousin who dropped out of cosmetology school to be more successful than I am because unlike me and my graduate degree, she has "real skills". It's pretty depressing.
And yet they still don't understand how much work sewing can be. The only person who appreciates that is my grandmother, who used to be a seamstress before she married, but she thinks my lolita hobby is stupid and I should get into babby-makin' before it's too late (I'm 26).
