I guess I'm afraid my t will feel similarly so I'm keeping it to myself.

I agree that a T should not be taking a position on whether or not a patient should be in school.

she keeps pressing me for alternatives to what kind of job I would like to do besides being a therapist, what other degree interests me?

What concerns me is not so much that you are keeping information from her, but rather that it sounds like you might be misleading her about what you are actually doing. So for instance if you and a friend frequently discuss whether or not she should get back together with her boyfriend, consider how you would feel when you come to find out a year later that she was with him all along but thought you would disapprove so she misled you into thinking she was not with him when in fact she was.
An alternative would be for you just to tell T that you don't want to discuss school and jobs with her for the indefinite future, just as in my example your friend could say that she does not want to discuss the boyfriend situation. This option might make sense anyways, since:

And its not like being in school is uber important information that needs to be discussed in therapy, as I am not having problems in school...I am having problems with everything else.
