[quote=Anonymous]Shouldn't you be proud that you've done well for yourself? I just don't understand this kind of insecurity at all. I attended public schools from 1st grade through master's, and I am proud to tell anyone that. The guy in the office next to mine went to HYP for college and grad school, the woman across the hall went to one of the "big 3" DC privates, to a top 5 SLAC, and to HYP for grad school. Yet here we all are, doing the same work and making similar salaries. I take pride in where I came from and how I got here. Where we went to school doesn't come up much at all, but the few times it has, I can dish it out very easily. ("What, they don't do it that way at Haahvaad?") I like to think part of my role is keepin' it real, so to speak.

Don't let this shit bother you. If someone makes some cutting remark, just smile ruefully and say yep, you got your degree in corn-pickin'. Whatever. Who cares what these people think? Why are you still hanging out with people who act and think like middle-schoolers?[/quote]
