There was a scholar claiming this a few months back and yeah, sorry, you aren’t disadvantaged because your parents don’t have PhDs. This is a subtweet and the scholar is in the replies to the original tweet on this. https://twitter.com/kataplexis/status/1294539573482131458 …

There were other things that they didn’t know about, apparently. I think that things should be explained but it frustrates me because many of these problems seem like...idk, a common sense thing. I feel like a lot of the stuff that is being “withheld” in this case is less 1/

that and more of, well why not ask? Or something that would have been encountered through osmosis and conversation, reading online about what a PhD entails, etc.

That’s the thing. When I worked for an insurance broker offering insurance to students, I met people who were older than myself yelling at me on the phone because I didn’t personally explain a line on the pamphlet when it was explained on our website.

I mean, I had 0% guidance from mine because their undergrad experiences were SO different than mine (and not just era/cultural/etc). But again, they both have degrees and therefore, I’m clearly not first gen. Seeing ppl try to argue otherwise is just….ugh.

Me too, but I knew other people and asked them. Or I just figured it out myself because I read books.
