In my day job I get to see credit/income information from people in all professions. Most people would be shocked if they really knew which category of people earn/acquire the most wealth. If you did know you would encourage your children to learn a trade and start their own business. You certainly would not advise them to earn a Liberal Arts degree and take on $100,000+ in debt.

Not to jump into the middle of this "discussion" but the current college system in the US is horribly broken in my opinion. We send way too many kids to College.

That is exactly my point. People nowadays think that if you have something less that college degree you are loser. And that is completely wrong logic. There are too many people with college education and people are just more and more stupid because of a downgraded level of education for masses. People need to stop and think do we really need another college major or we need someone with skill in his hands.

tl;dr Just don't judge others by their level of education.

You guys are taking this out of context and this has gone on for too long. No one has judged him simply by his education. It is part of an overall lack of credibility of his skills, education, and experience.

I'm not sure why this has gone astray and people seem to be defending their own inadequacies at this point. It's simply a matter of fact that having a degree/advanced degree increases your earning potential and ability to learn/adapt to your environment. It's indisputable if you look at the numbers - It just is.

LOL you really must have been slapped around a lot as a kid.
