I have a undergraduate degree in art, anywho she always looked up to me. After school we were both working temp jobs. I continued working temp jobs and she got a job in jewlery through a temp agency, which has ended up turning into her career. Anyways I continued working temp jobs and started taking night classes, I have been taking night classes for about a year and a half, and am currently applying to Graduate schools for Accounting. Anyway, I guess she's really upset that I'm not trying to stick it out until I get a dream job like her anymore. I've tried to explain to her that I want a more stable life, and will do whatever I can to get that. Anyway she hasn't been talking to me since we had this discussion, and it just makes me feel bad I'm the same person I'm just trying to make a better life for myself. I really do love her and care about her as a person, but I feel like she doesn't care about me anymore because I've changed. What should I do?

Do what you have to do to make yourself a better person. If your friend doesn't want to support your decision and doesn't understand that you want a more stable and better job than doing temps, then she is not a friend at all.

That sucks about your friend. She should be supportive of your decisions. Is she trying to give you tough love? Just because you will be doing accounting doesn't mean you have given up on your dreams-- you may even have more $ to do them. You should be proud of your decision. Maybe when you start bringing in the dough, she'll come around. By then, you can tell her to take a walk. I hope she realizes before for the sake of your friendship. Talk to her again about it. If she still acts the same, then maybe she wasn't such a good friend afterall.

Try talking to her maybe she is more upset with herself she maybe disappointed with herself and she maybe jealous of you and what you are doing with your life. I would just talk about how she has made you feel by the ways he has been acting lately. She should be supporting you but just talk to her to find out what is her thinking and maybe you will find the reason she is acting like the way she is.
That is good that you are trying to make a better life for yourself.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU

me and my best friend would always try to take the same classes in college, so we could be together, but everyone was not meant for the same career. There is something better for YOU out there and you found it. If she really was your friend she would understand, plus she ain't payin your bills.
