[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, would you go to a doctor who didn't have a medical degree?

If you were building a house would you prefer the services of a structural engineer with a BS over one with an MS?

If you needed a lawyer would you go to someone without a law degree?

Trying to understand your defensive question. I'm sorry if you feel other people's degrees reflect on your own career trajectory.  But it really doesn't.

OP here. I'd use the person most qualified and experienced for the job. But I wouldn't consider that their expertise made then innately superior to me! They just happened to study in that area, I didn't.

Likewise, I'd use the most appropriately qualified person to re wire my house or re do my plumbing but I wouldn't expect them to have a graduate (or any) degree, and I would never consider my own education to be superior to their clearly useful skills.[/quote]

The OP clearly has a complex.  Everything you talk about is in relation to whether someone is superior to you or not.  Grow up, OP.[/quote]
