You know what I find so interesting, you don’t lose your faith in the elevated notion of “degrees” untill you go to college and get one. 

I’m currently having job issues and my brother keeps telling me I should get a job that has to do something with “my degree” as if it’s a legit tangible thing.  Were it a masters, it might be a TAD more tangible but still.  Not to mention that my degree was in two of the most intagables: Communication AND Culture.  Sure, I can say I’m super smart and throw around a theorist or two, but what can I really do?

So, basically, I think he believes that, having a degree, gets you jobs while, simultaneously, I wish I learned to be a mechanic like him because I believe it gets you jobs.
