only when someone lets others know that they are superior to them. Which happens frequently on CS. too often I have seen people put others down because they have a bigger degree that someone else.
Then again, there are those who think because you won't get involved with someone with a higher degree you are limiting yourself. Truth is. I have only an associates degree. Why would I believe that a woman with a doctorate would give me the time of day. If I read that they have a masters degree or better...I move to the next one.
I will say that I would rather get involved with a graduate of the school of hard knocks than Harvard.
I think that cultural and educational differences can cause some communication problems, but if people are open-minded and willing to make a step forward to try to understand the other (and vice-versa), it is not unsurmountable. However, if the educational difference is great, there would probably not be a good chance of compatibility. By education, I mean overall intelligence, not whether or not someone has a degree or what level of degree they hold. This holds true whether online or in direct, face-to-face communication, doesn't it? JMO
