Whereas his post was ok? I imagine Andi is sick and tired of being called "elite" because we value education. I'm tired of it too.  If you don't value education, don't get educated.  But don't whine and make excuses that you can't get a better job or whatever because you chose not to get a degree.  Having a degree is not some magic bean that automatically drops a high paying job in your lap.  I've worked extremely hard my entire life.
