degrees

Have you ever met someone with a college degree and just wanted to scream incredulously, "They gave you a degree?" Don't be polite, of course you have. That's what keeps me up at night, even more than the deficit does. There are all these morons with college degrees. Their very existence lessens the value of my own degree.

The whole thing almost makes me think that I need more degrees so I won't be mistaken for these yahoos. But of course, pointless spite isn't much of a reason to spend up to five more years in school. But then again…

Oh, of course not. When I stop to count, it is rather interesting to see how many people I know getting advanced degrees, especially the number getting PhDs. Just an observation.

So what do those PhD chasers say to explain their behavior? Something worthwhile?

Why do you need a degree? What for? Unless you work for the government and want a higher pay for the same job. They are so easy to get, even the PhDs. Go on-line and spend money on it. In a few weeks, they send you whatever degree you ordered. Just check with some state and federal employees. They get paid based on how many degrees they have, the more advance the higher the pay. Get as many as you want from those degree mills. You get a higher pay as long as you don't get caught that your degree is mail-ordered! If you are caught, so what, they cannot fire you, the union will protect you. All they do is adjust your future pay but never ask you to pay back.
