AITA for not wanting meat cooked in my air fryer as a vegetarian?

I have my own apartment and I had a friend stay over after we went for dinner and had some drinks. she had leftover chicken and brought it back to my place. we had some gummies then watched a movie, afterwards she asked if she could air fry her chicken. i said i’ve never had meat in there and i’d prefer to heat up the oven for her. she told me not to get up and said she could manage heating it up and “disinfecting what she needed to”. i heard her plug in the air fryer so i got up and was kinda laughing/making a joke of it bc i’m truly not the type of vegetarian that cares about things like fryer oil or cross contamination. but this is my home, my safe place for MY food. somewhere i don’t need to accommodate what i want just so i’m not a pain.
she said this was exposure therapy and good for me, since i’ve expressed in the past that i would eventually like to eat meat again. i honestly didn’t want to ruin the “fun headspace” we were in, so i just let it go and told myself i’ll give it a really good clean. when i got up this morning, i was kinda disheartened. if we hadn’t taken the gummies i don’t think any of it would’ve happened the way it did, as in she wouldn’t have disrespected my boundary and i would’ve been able to stand my ground more, but now i just feel dramatic if i were to bring it up again. AITA?

Is a bachelor of arts useful without knowing what you want to do?

i work in 911 dispatch. i’ve complete 4 years of college, meaning i can get a bachelor of arts, criminology, psychology, or political science in 2 or 3 years. i don’t know what i want to do, but i know i want out of being a first responder. i’m off with PTSD, i’ve only been in the field for 2 years. i’m interested in teaching, or working within a college in the school of public safety or something, but i also don’t have any savings at this point and I’m nervous of wasting my time and digging myself into a hole of debt and a useless degree. looking for any advice or ideas!!
