Do you view people who have a college education differently from people who don't?

Question

Why or why not?
Any details or examples would be great.

Answer 1

Not unless they view themselves as different because of their college education. If they do, then I do not like them. We have all met the kind of people I am talking about. They somehow always work into the conversation that they have this degree or that degree. A college education is a wonderful thing unless you think of it as an entitlement. Those who think their college education entitles them to special treatment are worthless. A college education is meant to prepare YOU to be usefull. By the way, most college graduates do NOT fall into the group I am talking about.

Answer 2

No I don't, i feel that everyone has knowledge in some field, they just don't have the money to go to college. plus if they do graduate college there is no gaurnetee that that person will be better at the job then someone that didn't graduate. Example I was fired from a job because the supervisor didn't like me, she accused me of not doing my work, yet I told the manager to simply look at the hidden camaras for proof on who wasn't doing what, he didn't and I was fired. Does it take a college graduate to use common sence?

That was not a smart bussiness move, firing someone over rumors, with no proof? Even i know that is wrong and I didn';t even go to college. So no i see college graduates the same as everyone else. Yout intelligence is not proven by what a paper says, it is proven by how you solve life issues.

Answer 3

I don't judge people based on their education level. There are people I know who didn't go to college and they have shown humanity to me in several ways, better than some college educated people. You can learn a lot from both sides of the coin, though. College people tend to be more open to new ideas than non-educated in some instances, but not all the time. Some of our greatest quotes/poems came from non-educated people. Plus, look at Bill Gates, he never went to college and look at him today! But than everything is in the "eye of the beholder."

Answer 4

not usually, I'm in college now and there are some dumb people here, and other people who didn't go to college that are smarter. I do judge though if I know a person was good enough to get in and had enough money but didn't because they were lazy or because they didn't think they could.

Answer 5

Not based on the fact that they dont have a college degree. I might consider it a mark of honor even that somebody wasnt willing to get bitched around by teachers for an extra four years

Answer 6

Never. Before I went to college, & had my first job, my boss had been, but he couldn't even spell or put a sentence together. NOT to say college wasn't great when I did go! I think it's all relative, don't you?

Answer 7

Yes, not because they are smarter, but because they have had the discipline to get assignments done on time and the self-control to not punch the instructor when he or she says something stupid or degrading. These are important skills in the world of work.

Answer 8

Yes in a way they were wiser and maybe a little smarter then me. But i get by--on my high school education- although i could have done better. It is a matter of what we choose and our circumstances. More of what we choose and how we choose it and why.

Answer 9

Not at all. Well, there are some people who boggle me: how did they EVER manage to graduate college, that is a mystery. LOL

Answer 10

Yes, I think they are silly for wasting that much money, when you can get an apprenticeship, and shave years off the total time you will spend in school.
