What an Ivy League Phd thinks of us

[15%Luck]

haha...When I opened up this thread I was fully expecting to read a lot of derogatory commentary from the PhD towards us. So, I guess this is a pleasant surprise :p

Almost all of my "friends" who are in college look down on me and openly make fun of this method.

I am not respected for the way I'm getting my degree.

Most of the time when people ask me where I'm going to school and I explain to them, I'm asked a lot of incriminating questions and then viewed rather narrowly. You go through that about 100 times and it starts to wear on you.

I've received so much heat on this over the past year that several times I've felt like saying "screw it!" and enrolling myself at a local CC.

I think the truth is people feel insecure about us. They don't like that our method makes their method seem more than a little inefficient and the way they combat that feeling is to try to put us down.

At this point I'm using this method almost as much to spite my brick and mortar friends as to save time and money. I like to add it all up and dwell on the fact that when they're starting their sophomore and junior years, I'll have my BS degree hangin' on the wall and be waving goodbye to them as I head off to either get an MBA or go to Law school. hilarious We can't let them get us down. Stick with it!!

Thanks for the encouragement!

P.S.
This forum is the bomb guys! For those of us that get knocked this is somewhere we can come and actually get some encouragement instead of condescension.
