I have a Degree in Forensic Psychology. But does that make me better than the next person? NO!
One of my pet peeves is to hear others use their degree or degree status to put another person thru the slumps. Like really... just cause you got a Bachelors or Masters degree in whatever does not make you a better person than that person that has no degree at all. That person with no degree may be able to do a better job than you and probably me. Having a degree does not always make a person smart...it just gives them a title with a value! Can you honestly sit there and say that what you do is based on your degree? Can you sit there and say I have a degree that is being put to use. Well I can, cause without mine I would not have the position that I have now. Okay so I may not be a psychologist. But I sure use what I learned in my psychology classes to deal with my clients, myself and most often my colleagues, cause if I didn't; I'd go nuts!!
I have met people with a higher status degree than the one that I have and still don't have a job. I have seen people with no degree at all get better jobs than one with a PH.D. Being Educated is not about having a degree as well as having a degree is not about being Educated. It bugs me when I hear someone say "I'm educated cause I have a degree and I went to college." Just want to tell them STFU who cares! Ok you have a "degree" but do you have class? Just cause a person has a degree does not make them a better person and does not give them the right to pass judgement on others. Every time I hear a person say "they don't have a degree and I got a degree in this or that" and also hearing one say "OMG...so and so got a degree in this or that and they not doing nothing with themselves". Makes me want to yell "so what WTF are you? Just cause one has a degree does not make them SPECIAL!
The funny shit is I was walking the other day and saw a druggie telling a teen she was better than them and was well educated because she got a masters. Umm Soooo why you ain't got a job and why you using drugs? At least the teen was smart enough and had the class to walk away and ignore. Must say I was proud of that teen for just walking away and not even passing judgement. It goes to show that a degree don't really mean much unless you put it to use. I have put mine to use by getting the job I wanted and a position that required it. What have you done with yours?
FYI: This is not a personal attack on anyone and no pun intended on anyone. Expressing myself is what I do public or private!
