WIBTA if I don’t claim to want to do a Masters in front of my boyfriend’s parents

Hi I needed to get some perspective on this. My boyfriend and I have been dating for 10 months now. Its been going really well, we’ve told each other our I love yous and we mean it. Its honestly been really good, I want to give that context because I want to provide the full picture.

His parents are going to be visiting next weekend. It’ll be my first time meeting them. He told me yesterday that his mom can be a bit much about career and education. Shes a VP in Finance at her company and according to him, she pushed him to excel in studies and career, and shed probably do the same to me, its just her way of caring. I said thats nice I studied Kinesiology and I’m currently working as a Rehab Assistant I can talk about that. He said it would be nice to mention that I’m also considering a Masters. I said I’m not though, he said it’s not like you’re adamant on not doing it, you could, and his mom would appreciate it. I reiterated that I have no plans of doing it and he said it doesn’t hurt to say it. I said I wouldn’t and got a bit upset and he got defensive and said he was just trying to make for a good meet up. We left on a bad note and I just want to ask AITA? I’m not dead opposed to a Masters obviously so I see his point I guess but its just not in my immediate plans, I like what I’m doing right now.
