[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 37141, member: 831"] I think not just knowing lots of stuff, but how it is used, and applied, in life, is what makes a vast difference. I do know the term "well educated" means college degrees in our society. The more the better. But, it certainly doesn't offer the guarantee of a successful life. For example: The Unabomber was extremely well educated. A professor even. What I have found in my experience is that, especially in my field, education and degrees give people credibility. When someone speaks at a function, all degress and schooling, are announced. Yet, someone who may have worked for years in the trenches, has vast knowledge of the field, yet is not sought, or allowed to contribute, and even dismissed, in job related journals, and conferences, simply because they don't have the degree.
