I work full-time in administration while in grad school for an MA in counseling. It requires a year long unpaid internship that will be difficult to complete while working full-time. I was discussing it with my boss and she told me to just suck it up and do the internship part-time instead of reducing my schedule. I told her that i would essentially be working 60 hours a week. She said that since I'm not married and don't have kids that shouldn't be an issue for me. I told her that I want to be able to enjoy my life and have some free time for myself. She said that enjoying having free time is for after I am retired and my kids are grown up. I told her I don't plan to have children or get married and she scoffed at me. I also have a number of health issues and I'm barley holding it together 40 hours a week, no way I can do 60. She straight up told me she doesn't believe in my health problems and that I need to just suck it up and grind while I'm young and have time to spare. I just said “nobody is guaranteed tomorrow” and ended the conversation. She is no longer my direct supervisor thank God but it really bothered me that she can't comprehend that just because I'm young means I need to spend all my time working.
