8. You forgot to include the street smarts of life degree
MY life education just simply blows away anything I ever learned from a book or professor, by a wide margin.

Who sits in their favorite chair thinking "gee, what did my education teach me today?" Or "wow, I'm glad I have my degree in psychology, it really helps me to do the wash and repair my car?"

Because we have a paper doesn't mean crap. My Father quit school when he was eight years old in the 20's, learned to paint houses, learned to build houses and self-taught himself engineering to the degree that he drew the blueprints himself. My Mom still lives in the home he built.

I know people so smart it makes my hair hurt just talking to them, put they can't even poach an egg or get the stains out of clothes.

12. I gots me...
...BA Hons degree in English, Drama and Communirecashun and then followed that up with a Masters in International Marketing through the Chartered Institute of Marketing and an honorary Masters from the Institute of Management (all in the UK).

So I'm allowed to put loads of letters that no-one (not even me) fully understands after my name, so I don't bother :evilgrin:

13. I have a Doctorate in Modern European History
but the job market is so crowded I ended up as a high school German teacher. I'm not all that disappointed because I can work much history into my curriculum (especially at the higher levels).
