This is common among highly educated people...they assume that anyone
who hasn't achieved the education level they have, knows nothing.  In
fact, most college graduates are just good students, their college
makes little or no difference in their ability to assess a problem and
solve it.  I know lots of degreed people that don't do anything that
relates to their suede course, and won't make enough money to pay off
school loans anytime in the next 30 years, if they ever pay them.
BUT..."they got that degree"...atta boy!!
