Sure, but that can be done only on an individual basis. As Frownland pointed out, on a political science level, uneducated is a box you tick, so it has an objective standard of "have you graduated college/university or not", not a subjective standard of "maybe you haven't been to college but you're still educated because of xyz".

Same here. And I went on to get a Master's because I realized that I actually play the game well and can exploit it. Higher education is a racket.

So yeah, the debate stemmed from him using educated in a different fashion than I was.

The novelty of my journalism course wore off pretty quickly but I plan to switch to business next year. Hoping that's a little more fruitful.

Yeah. I just shook my head as I scrolled through and watched you two talk past each other.

Also just noticed he added to a post that caused my confusion. Sorry Frown. I understand your point now.

I was kicked out of High School at 16. I spent the next 40 years working my way slowly up the ladder and self teaching myself drafting, designing, and all other facets of our industry, and currently hold the title of Vice President of Operations and Product Development and was taking home a six figure salary prior to the sh1tstorm with my company.

If I were to look for another job I'd have to list myself as uneducated. Of course I can explain my experience but in most cases, if the job required a degree, I'd be **** out of luck even though I could probably smoke 90% of the kids today graduating with a degree.

I have a reputation to uphold and build upon. I though that would've become obvious to ya'll by now.

Makes sense in that context I guess. Just seems weird to call some one uneducated based on one trivial thing. I dunno, could just be me.

I just know there are people more educated than a person with a degree. Yet they're still considered uneducated.
