Cripes, I can't stand the "so what are your plans" questions. I just started grad school for an English degree, and everyone keeps asking me what I plan to do with it. Um, probably hang it on my wall. I enjoy learning - why do I need to explain everything to you friggin people?
I think a lot of it is the whole "living vicariously" thing. They like to think that young people have their lives all planned out and organized because they themselves haven't gotten to do everything they wanted.
