In that case, apologies for the sting. Please don't take it personally as the comment was not directed at you. No doubt you take a certain amount of pride in your accomplishments and you're entitled to, as I'm sure you worked hard for it.

I never suggested that 'educated' people can't also be wise, merely that a piece of paper is not always a guarantee of wisdom. If that hurts, then I'm sorry you feel that way. In any event, kindly do us all a favor and continue to learn and grow even after the 'sheepskin' is in the rear view mirror. That way we all win.
