WHy Do People Think A Degree In Anything Makes You An Expert In Everything?

[Lanky Livingston]

I've never heard someone randomly say "I have a college degree," but I have heard someone bust out "I have a history degree" or something when discussing history. So, degree-specific credential-pulling. But never just on a random topic...

I get much more frustrated by people who think they are experts at everything, with or without a degree. It seems that many of them spend vast amounts of time on internet message boards.

You have to view a message board as a giant editorial IMHO. You definitely can't take what is posted on the internets too seriously.

Yup. I really meant entertained not frustrated.

The internet is a giant random thought thread. It gives voice to everyone, and everyone has used the anonymity to stretch the truth at some point.

this whole thread is rich with irony.

I disagree, and I've been a member of this board longer than you have.

But nowhere near as many posts. So you're wrong.

You're all LITERALLY full of ****. I know, because I'm working on my second Master's from Columbia University in Human Behavior, studying EVERY day, and I can just tell you're all liars, every SINGLE WORD you say. It's not really my passion though, so I'm considering dropping out OF school and pursuing THIS passion I've had for acting my ENTIRE life. POST education, my dream has always been to be a celebrity.

My best friend's neighbor's cousin's step sister IS friends with a big time Hollywood exec, so I'm guaranteed to land some big roles. I will be a TOTAL takeover by me of the Hollywood scene.Soon, you'll be seeing my name in lights.

Don't try to verify any of this, because I go out of my way to be low key, and I use a different name in my career endeavors. I can't tell you the name of the exec either, because I'm not sure he wants his name being thrown around. I wouldn't BULL**** you.











READ BETWEEN THE LINES. PEOPLE ALWAYS PUT THE TRUTH IN CAPS!!!!!!!!

What can I say? Geniuses such as ourselves always read between the lines

WHAT THE **** DID YOU JUST CALL ME?

I HAVE A BIGGER POST COUNT THAN YOU!! MY OPINION MATTERS!!

I hear a big post count means you're compensating for something








The irony of my abnormally large post count for my short time here is not lost on me, but these rules don't apply to me, because I said so.
