[quote=Anonymous]I went back for a graduate degree just before I turned 30. For me it was a personal mission to prove something to myself - I grew up pretty poor and I'm one of a few people from my high school class who went to grad school. However, since then, people from said small hometown like to remind me - constantly - that I'm not that smart, or they want to argue with me about politics or policy. In fact the day I graduated, my best friend made a comment about how you don't need these degrees. So while I don't think I'm necessarily smarter than everyone - maybe just better versed in a particular topic - it gets old having to listen to anti-intellectualism. [/quote]
