[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you say where you went to college? It is like telling people what school you attended?
I would suspect that they are trying to get a feel of what ses standing your family is

How about: interesting that you ask. It was a long time ago

I studied  this and this. I believe the curriculum has changed and University level classes now focus more on this and this

What do you think about the different focus?[/quote]

Talking about where one went to college is a pretty normal subject that normal people discuss from time to time.[/quote]

If you are 25, maybe. If you are 40, nobody cares. [/quote]

So 40-year-olds can't discuss where they grew up?  Where they went to school?  Where they worked at some earlier point in their careers?

Again, this is a normal thing that normal people sometimes talk about.[/quote]
You can talk about it all you want, but nobody cares. Well maybe your mother, but she already knows.[/quote]

Are you autistic?[/quote]
No. Are you narcissistic?[/quote]
Very few discuss where they grew up, lived are increasingly mobile
The old school thought was that you were born and raised in the same town. That is increasingly rare. The norm is to have changed school a few times before attending college, and some even change universities while acquiring their degree

It's just as rare as having a long career in one company[/quote]

You clearly didn't grow up in the US and have no idea what you're talking about.[/quote]
