I've been planning to return to Uni as a mature student for a couple of years, to study Social Work. I was recently told that the funding for my job is ending sooner than anticipated and have taken the opportunity to put in an application for the coming academic year, Sept '14. I'm really nervous but excited by the prospect of a new adventure and today found out that I've been offered an interview at my first choice Uni as well as my other two choices, making it three for three! I was really chuffed and posted as such on Facebook.
I got lots of enthusiastic and encouraging responses, but a woman who is a friend of my parents just commented "Hope you're making the right choice - lots of cuts in councils!".
AIBU to find this a bit negative and verging on rude? My mother is a bloody social worker, I'm well aware of the range of employment opportunities as well as the recruitment situation in my area (which, whilst not offering guarantees for three years hence, is currently very rosy, with several LA's seemingly constantly recruiting social workers).
