Thanks for posting that.

I'm impressed by the lack of an Ivy-League sheepskin.

My own education is basically self-taught. It served me well (I'm smarter than the average bear), but boy, oh boy, have I looked up a lot of noses.

It's given me a fairly irreverent attitude that does not always win me friends.

It has also given me a drive to help out others that have challenges breaking through obstinance and prejudice (see "not winning friends," above).

I'm lucky enough to go to a decent university, but having looked up a few noses I find it each one makes me want to work harder. I've met people who I honestly believe have been born well (expensive schools etc.) to not have any zest for learning
