No, why do people have to be criticized just for studying abroad? 🤷‍♂️

The thing is, I was just chatting with a friend, everything was fine. Then he asks me what I've been up to lately. I tell him I'm still in school, and he goes, "Didn't you graduate already? Why are you still studying?" I tell him I went abroad for further studies. And then it spirals into this whole thing about how studying abroad is pointless. I come back, still can't find a job, better off just staying put. He starts talking about money 💰, and I'm just speechless. How did a casual chat turn into an education lecture? Plus, I'm studying in London, like why do you even care? If you're not sponsoring me, mind your own business. This is from a fan's submission. How would you deal with situations like these?
