Well I worked hard and earned scholarships to pay for college education and worked two jobs to pay for everything else while I got my degrees, my family didn't have the money to cover a cent for me, I did it myself because that's what I wanted to do. I would never dream of using my education as a weapon to look down on others, but I'm proud of the fact of what I accomplished because I worked hard to earn it.

Why are you judging us simply because there are some @ssholes out there that get off on making other people feel bad, not everyone is the same you know!

And lest there be any confusion, there are quite a fair amount of people who DO live of off "mommy and daddy's money" that don't go anywhere near a college or university and just become a drain on society.

why is it that people that go to college,have degrees seem to think that makes them special,makes them smarter,better,they seem to think that any one who hasnt been to college is trash,that we are below them I am tired of this cause its not true by any means,there can be a 100 different reasons why people are not able to go to college.I wasnt able to go.
that does not make me any dumber because of it.



having a degree dont make u special,does not give u the right to walk over others



It's because these idiots who go to college feel that they're in some way superior to everyone else. They haven't gone out in the REAL world and had to survive like the rest of us, so they think their opinions and their flawed logic surpasses that of the rest of the population.

The worst thing is that it gets worse the higher degree. Pacifists, Socialists, Communists... the list goes on and on. All they do is shove their worthless noses in a book all day, living off of mommy and daddy's money so that they can get their degree in a diploma mill, and they think they're of higher intelligence as a result.

And this is coming from a person who went through the horrors of going through a four-year college. I couldn't stand the arrogance of these career student types and their holier-than-thou mentality, so I stopped going after I got my bachelor's degree.


You're making horrendous and grandiose generalizations. Perhaps your experience was bad, but most people have to work to get into college...work throughout college, and work for what they want after college. Just seems like what you're spouting is an ignorant projection:angry:


The ones who had to WORK to get their degrees (like yours truly) are the ones who DON'T have that holier-than-thou attitude the ones OC is talking about. Why? Because they've gone out there in the REAL world and have had to bust their humps to not ONLY pay for their education, but also pay the bills. This is something you simply can't say for these career students, who suck as much Pell Grant money as they can for their thirty different Liberal Arts degrees.

There's a pretty big distinction between the two groups I'm talking about, if you ask me.

You can do anything you want to do oc, if you want it bad enough. You are only limited by the limitations you put on yourself. Knocking people who decided to pursue an education really make you feel better? You are shorting yourself if that is how you see things. Go grab what you want dude, there is nothing stopping you except you. I am sure plenty of people on this site could help you with tons of experience if you just ask. By belittling others like that you are really just insulting yourself, and becoing that which you claim to abhore

Well just like everypart of life one can't lump all into one catagory, of course there are those that have things handed to them, go through college and never learn a thing, and trust me I've seen plenty of idiot college students, like those you see on Jay Walking with Leno all the time. But more times then not the people that are in college and get degrees are there to better their lot in life, most of whom work hard to get that degree and a lot of us even pay for it all ourselves. but just because one went to college doesn't make them smarter but it ussually makes them more educated, more employable and ussually makes them more money. But there are always exceptions to the rule, Hell look at BUSH he's a college Grad but he's got to be the DUMBest MFer I've ever seen.. but hes made it a lot further then I have. See having a certain name and family money can mean the world, don't matter how ignorant you may be..

Dude, my mother died when I was 18 so I didn't make it to college. I worked my freaking arse off working to get the money up and pursue a diploma. That's what I am doing right now.

The only reason I'm posting in this thread is to prove you wrong. You've met some jerk with a diploma and think everyone is the same way. You're wrong.

You keep saying it's mom and dad's money, well I go to school with others and I talk to them about where they are getting the money. They are working full time and are in debt up to their eyeballs.

I went to college and I earned the degree I have. Although i do not need it for the profession that I am now in. No I am no better than any one else whether they have a degree or not. We are all human we are all capable of making mistakes. OC you are a very smart man if you work for it you can achieve all your goals and dreams. As for the people that look down upon you for not having a degree, don't let them get to you. They are the ones who are wrong and are going about life with the wrong attitude. Stay positive, be true to yourself and all will be good. for what it's worth you have my respect.
