So your first bit, "Why is it cool to shit on a 4 year science degree", your example says why I found it sad that she gave up on her science degree. The opposite of "shitting on a 4 year science degree"
If you're upset about wasted potential -> becoming a nurse, then you missed the point of my entire comment and went right to your own conclusions. If you're upset that a career like a chemist (or a doctor, or a lawyer) require more training and pay better than nurses then you need to take it up with society as a whole. I'm talking about my friend who gave up on a much higher salary and strong career prospects to be a housewife and went with rural culture approved choice of being a nurse, and how gender norms were a non-zero part of her decision.
