Social Snobbery (446)
The only thing that matters to me is a person's character and intelligence. There are many paths to knowledge and enlightenment (not that I personally know any of them, but I've heard rumors to that effect).

Besides, Ive always maintained that intellgence is something your born with, its inherent in us. Education is aquired.

rambling......
They will never feel successful with education or anything they do because they will never earn as much as they have inherited.
So the family has a few quirks.
Dealing with poor mouth wealthy people truly sucks.

felixis99: that is supposed to say "no big deal" at the end
but I did want to add that seeking someone who values education is not snobbery - not in the US anyway
as a nation we so value education that higher education in this country is accessible to even the poorest of the poor as a vehicle for self and economic improvement - hardly snobbery
I disagree I think it is snobbery....it is in fact prejudiced....preferring red hair over black is a preference....looking down at someone simply because of a degree is something differentbut I did want to add that seeking someone who values education is not snobbery - not in the US anyway

I thought it would be perfectly natural for like to attract like.
While I'm not a materialistic type of person, I do have certain standards and would not be drawn to people who have not made an effort to improve their standard of living, should they feel it needs improving.
I know we can't all be employed, but those who aren't and could be, and choose not to improve their chances by education, grooming or otherwise, well, I can't say I would be looking for their company.

Hmm yeah how many times do we encounter highly educated people who have no use for it, no outcome
It's academia for academia's sake in some instances.Most people of average intelligence can fulfil the obligations that high level education requires, it's simply a matter of opportunity, funding and the time to spare.
However, this does not make them better people (or better company for that matter).

actually many people with degrees work out of their field ...altho I agree generally speaking a degree is a good thing ....the snobbery of not having one is pretty clear here in this thread ....don't you agree....Most people of average intelligence can fulfil the obligations that high level education requires, it's simply a matter of opportunity, funding and the time to spare.

I've only read parts of it, but I seem to be detecting a pattern here maybe
My thoughts are that young people, in particular, should receive vocational guidance to attempt to steer them to a college or university degree that will ultimately land them a job, not something they can frame and hang on a wall

I worked 10 years for a corporation who evaulates credit ratings for the business world, and 16 years in the legal field.
Even with that experience I don't fit in certain social circles for whatever reason people exclude me.
You probably know from postings I make in the threads that I don't care if I'm not accepted. I know who I am and I don't put on airs to be with the "in" crowd...
Who is the "in" crowd, Monte??
From what I see it changes from day to day anyway! Here, as in real life!
