It was my final exam. Everyone , including the president (or whatever it’s called), but one said I was great and all, and we were chilling talking about my future. I said I wanted to get a CS degree, to which my math teacher replied with “People like you can only be good as carpenters”

EDIT: just to point out, I got the highest grade lol

This reminds me of that meme like "teachers will tell you that yiu don't want to end up collecting trash but won't tell you that the trash collector makes more than they do."
