People of college feel just because they went and you didn't they somehow are better than you..Do most of you agree with me? Sorry I don't agree with you on this subject I have so many degrees that some call me an over educated idiot. I much prefer a man that physically works with his hands. I don't care what certificates or degree's he has, I care about his intelligence. The smartest person I ever knew was my grandfather, he went to all of 3rd grade, he could give you figures on materials, etc faster than people could using pen and paper and he was always right. He was more diversly well read, than most educated people of his generation . I think this attitude is very insulting. In my experience and in all my travels I have NEVER SEEN THIS... I have been around the world a few times I have sat down to dinner with diplomat's and fish cleaners. They were all exciting and interesting enriching my life in more ways than any degree could ever do. If this happens to be the New Norm... I feel pity for the ones that chooses to indulge this behavior I believe they will miss out on many many great life experiences. Sorry if this post offends anyone.. Not meant to just giving my opinion. I don't have college, just trade school, and I feel this way..seems to me that's the way it is. If you want a good job, college is the only ticket. Nothing wrong with having gone to trade school. Have a very dear friend who started working on computers in the very early days of computers. He knows more about them then people with grad degrees in computer science. He can diagnosis problems simply by looking at what the computer is doing. He has the capability of using some equipment that folks with degrees have never even heard of.

It only says you have met the requirements of the degree. Know a number of "educated idiots" and very smart people who attended the "school of hard knocks." To quote Forest Gump, "Stupid is as stupid does."

People of college feel just because they went and you didn't they somehow are better than you..Do most of you agree with me? Sorry I also strongly disagree with you. A college/graduate degree is simply a piece of paper. It has nothing to do with whither or not one person is better than another person. With apologies if your point (in my opinion) had any merit I would only be interested in people with not only a graduate degree, but post graduate work. Personally don't feel as though I'm better than anyone else. In fact some of the people I admire the most do not have a college degree. Several of them did not even graduate high school. It isn't the number of degrees you have, your GPA, academic honors earned, or where you went to school that make you special. It is the person that is on the inside. If a person believes that a college degree defines who they are, I feel sorry for them. Who you are is determined by what you have made of yourself. Again...simply my humble opinion.

A good conversation with a dear friend can be a romantic experience. The sharing of hopes and dreams. Of knowing the other person isn't just listening...but is truly hearing you. Romance and sex are not the same.

No...those disagreements are between us. Why on earth would you want to bring someone else in on it. It is a relationship not a democracy for heaven's sake.

Higher in the senority but got fired by asking me for my key. No explanation, no meeting just a letter handed to me as they kicked me to the curb. Needless to say my world has come crushing down I am a damn good nurse. Anyhoo the real problem is my boyfriend isn't the most supportive he thinks i should want to go out and go do things its only 24 hours and my whole life has fallen down I'm i wrong or is he being selfish. Sometime it good to be selfish. Would suspect that working with oncology pts you've seem a collage of reactions and emotions. While going through CPE training my supervisor told me something rather surprising. "Sometimes you have to enjoy your pain." He didn't mean swimming a pool of self pity. Oncology pts had taught me the futility of that. They did teach me much about embracing life...the good, the bad, the uncertainty, the laughter, the tears, and the importance of sometimes just sitting still and embracing the moment. What ever that moment may be.

Folks need to realize that something posted on the internet doesn't "just disappear over time". Potential employers have been know to "google" a person's name to see where it might appear. Bottom line...one needs to be cautious in what they post. JMO
