[QUOTE="johnr, post: 47281, member: 395"] I used to work with a fella that had his bachelors and really thought that meant he was above anyone who didn't. He even made comments about coworkers who only had a associate degree, saying their opinion didn't matter as they only have an associate...haha Sometimes a degree turns someone into a know it all asshat. I have a good friend who went to Wahpeton and became a mechanic, he is one of the wealthiest guys in town, and I have never heard him say a word about anyone else being above or below him because of their education, or lack of it. Plenty of farmers that I do business with that have more money than the guy who owns the bank, and some of them have little to no education. If you are 18yrs old and don't have your path into a family business, get the education and open more doors, but don't think for one second a degree makes you more intelligent, harder working, or more driven, than the guy without it.
