bigdaddy007: I would hire someone with common sense anyday over a person with all the degrees in the would if the had NO common sense.
I have very little education, 8 years only and one semester in night school taking English grade ten, while in Canada. What gets me through all the time is common sense. Thinking further than my nose is long.

Good for you, Jenny!
As for me, my mom always says I have the brains to learn whatever I want in life, could have been a rocket scientist if I wanted to (ummm, maybe not quite, but mom knows best, right?)...but the common sense of a flea. Life has taught me common sense the hard way.

Common sense was drilled into us kids that is for sure. When I am mentioning my little schooling, it is only to show that it is surely not all in education. I read a lot and have educated myself to a certain point.

I know...it shows, dear woman...you have a great sense of humor, but are also very smart. Not all education comes from books, and intelligence has nothing to do with what grade you made it to in school.
people who think that they are better than others just because of their station in life...........even when their station is "given" to them not earned
