All I'm saying is that they chose the profession that they're in. If it takes 10-15 years to establish a foundation for that profession, so be it. However, they're the ones who made that conscious choice.
Everyone has a choice and I believe that being a prick because you think you've 'earned' it through education just don't cut it. I'm no slacker and I believe in education but I don't belittle anyone nor throw it in their face. I have an BSEE as well as an MBA. Not one person, besides my boss, knows that I have these degrees as I choose not to flaunt it. I just don't see the need to do so.
