Emperor Norton:
I have been one class away from finishing a degree in electronics for so long I think I can't even finish that degree anymore.
But hey I fell backwards into an online marketing and social media management job where I grew with the new division of a company to the point that if I left half our marketing would fall apart. I get paid well in something I'm surprisingly good at, that I would have never guessed 10 years ago, in a field I actually like (video games).

"So you'd kill me for my job?"
"I'm not answering that."

"Does this coffee taste funny?"
*THUMP*
"Yay! Employed!"
Or not....

So basically Martens right and Claire needs to stop acting like a little kid and accept that what she wants she might not get, yeah it sucks but thats just how it is so either accept it or don't but its not going to change

Well, yeah, but maybe give her a chance to mourn her dream a little bit? I mean, she just got out of denial. Just because she doesn’t immediately accept the death of a dream doesn’t mean she never will.

“please don’t take this as an attack but...”
“I’m totally going to deny any struggles you’ve had and ignore the point you are trying to make by pointing out you had something fortunate happen in your life that I’m jealous of.”
I’m not trying to be a jerk but...
I’m not racist but...
I’m not trying to belittle you but...
Geez Claire, there is a way to talk about your anxieties and worries without dumping on Marten.
sitnspin:
His "point" was a meaningless platitude. "Everything will just work out, it did for me" is not a point. Marten dismissing her legit concerns by pointing out he fell backwards into a job he had no qualifications for is not helpful. He means well, but everything Claire said was true.
