I guess that means you're the first to be tossed to the zombies because you're life is worth less without a college degree.
Holy carp, that puts me on the front line!!! 
BRING IT ON ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!

You should buy an island somewhere then. I saw on an episode of "Island Hunters" that Zombies can't swim.I guess that means you're the first to be tossed to the zombies because you're life is worth less without a college degree.

My X was adamant that because she held two master degrees that she was more intelligent then I was. We had many a spirited discussion about that. I would say that in order to get an education of such a high level you would probably have to be intelligent, but, there are a boatload of very intelligent people that do not have the sheep skin to prove it. Intelligence is not the result of education. It is a pre-existing condition. Education will help expand the possibilities of how that intelligence is used, but, it doesn't create it.

I agree wholeheartedly and believe you just summed up all the valid points.

Of course not - we judge them by how much money they have and how hot their spouse is.

Intelligence is innate.

Why do my kids care whether I'm dressed or not at 4:00 in the afternoon?
Since getting up, I have:
- cleaned the disaster that was my kitchen (which was spotless when I went to bed, BTW)
- loaded, run, and unloaded the dishwasher
- got them up for work, and made their lunch
- made my bed (obvi!)
- made Hubby happy
- did 6! loads of laundry (5 of which was theirs)
- fed the animals
- endured 4 phone calls and 1 visit from my crazy-a$$ brother
- discussed intelligence/education/careers with my Peeps
- liquidated and closed my farm (permanently this time)

No on other threads. I was looking at the Shocked By All the Hate thread and some avatars are blank.

TMI gross-out alert:
Son #2 just chased me through the house, screaming, "Smell my finger". (Yeah, sign me up for that.)
Eventually I ran out of places to run, got cornered, and had the dubious honour of smelling his finger.
Him: I'll give you a hundred bucks if you know what that smell is.
Me: Belly button.
(Dead silence, total incredulity on his face.)
Him: How did you know?
Me: Who do you think cleaned your belly button for the first seven or eight years of your life? Where's my hundred bucks.
Him: You cheated.
Personally, I think I earned it. Teenaged boys are gross. Did I mention he's moving? In January? Did I tell you how excited I was?

Belly button gunk has a distinctive smell. Trust me.I think that is endearing. You remembered the smell.
Not endearing. Just plain gross.

I haven't caught up on all the posts here yet, 'cause I got distracted by other stuff once I logged in, but, I know I certainly am not. Never have, never will. DWifey and I were talking about this last night. Even before we were ever even in retail (I was in architecture for 30-ish years, she was in insurance/daycare/nanny - both of us non college degreed), we treated servers, cashiers, etc., with total respect. It's just not in our nature to do otherwise. I, personally, have never looked down on anybody that was doin' an honest days work, no matter what that work was.
Actually, my original plan included college and an architectural degree. At one point, I met with a counselor at the University of Texas School of Architecture to find out what I needed to do to get in (I was working for a firm full-time, by then), and then started taking courses at the local community college commensurate with such. Then, after about a year or so of being with that firm full-time, and after much observation and experience, I realized, that for my particular career path anyway, goin' back to get a 4-5 year degree was not what I needed be doing. I could go into a long, detailed diatribe as to why, but, suffice it to say, I don't regret the way I did it, for a moment.
When I was laid off from the last firm I was with for over 20 yrs. (I am currently back with for almost two years now), I was last person laid off, and the fifth round of such. Everyone, in the previous 4 rounds of layoffs, was college degreed. It didn't matter. College degree or not, there was no work.
Anyway, all that being said, as much as I love what I do, and it pays the bills, I still don't even wanna' do that forever. We already have an idea for our own business. Supplemental income for now, that could potentially turn into something more. We are takin' it slow, easy, carefully, and doin' our research, and it certainly won't happen overnight, but, hopefully, in a few years it will be somethin' we can be proud of.
