I feel you, sister. The number of people who say
tit like that is frustrating as hell. I know so many people with advanced degrees who are terrible employees, can't spell or can't write, don't know basic things, etc. -- and I know brilliant people without degrees. My mom is a little like your MIL. I had to work my ass off to prove myself and move up in my job. Probably another reason the stans and their
bleeping "Jenn works so hard" bullshit makes me want to scream.
I also think community college is shat on way too often. It can be a great option for those who have trouble affording a 4-year or are unsure about what they want to do. College isn't for everyone, but also life doesn't always work out for people who want to go to college depending on circumstances. Either way, it gets old as
duck to hear the elitist garbage that some people spew - you are worth way more than your degree status and letters after your name.
