A belief that formal education, diplomas, etc equate with intelligence,
competence, qualifications to perform an occupation is a widespread
contemporary prejudice. It's got a similarity of a faith. Occasionally
expressions of this "faith" come up on this list, unchallenged, and they
irritate me.

Having a college degree does signify one good quality: that you finish
what you start.
Other than that, my degree in Physics, with a math minor, haven't served
me one single iota in this business. That "sheepskin" is just so much
toilette paper. Now a degree in business administration or accounting
might have been useful a good number of times. Provided I retained the
knowledge they represented.
