I have noticed a trend in newspapers, magazines, and in people to come to the conclusion that because I lack a college degree I am not educated.
Why does this premise exist? I read and study every subject that interests me reading the latest research and even applying it to my field, customer service.
A university setting is not required for me to research and study. I can do many forms of these without a collegiate setting. To assume I am an uneducated bumpkin because I don't have a piece of paper saying I am not is quite irritating.
Most irritating example of this I worked with a guy who was a computer science major in college. His computer started running very slow when I suggested he reboot it.
Apparently he not only had never thought of that but had no idea that every once in awhile you need to reboot a computer.
Anyone else have this happen?
