Scum Grads!

I started working right out of college. I couldn't afford to further my study but I work very hard to demonstrate my value. Hub said that I am intelligent and I like to think I am somewhat knowledgeable on what interests me -- cooking, history etc. But because I don't have a master’s degree, I sometimes feel like none of this matter and that I must be too stupid to be successful. I am not attractive, funny, social, charming or anything like that so intelligence is possibly the only strength I have and if I don't have that then I have no value whatsoever. 

Hub once said, “Do you realize how many stupid people there are out there with master’s degrees but no real accomplishments? Anybody can get a master’s degree and it really doesn't mean anything anymore. There are a good number of people who never got a master’s degree but were nevertheless very good at what they did. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs didn’t finish college yet wound up one of the wealthiest and most powerful men on earth. Some of the things that matter most in life are how well we treat other people and how much of our own potential we develop. Intelligence is what it is and has nothing to do with a master’s degree.” Well said!

Yeah, it’s true -- there are a good number of people with degrees and even with master’s degrees but they’re not able to perform in the real world! But they tend to exaggerate and think they are better than others. As a result, these people ignore the intelligence of others. These people keep telling others how smart they are all day long and how f**king great they are because they have a degree or a master's. The fact is that a lot of these people are very f**king stupid. They're always complaining they're too good for the job and that they should be making more and yet they never go find another job. If they think they deserve a better job then they need to show why they deserve it by being better, not just claiming they're. Sometimes this depends on who and where they got their degree also. Their work ethics are usually horrible because they spent so many years in the educational system and never working a real job. A lot of these people could not get a job out of college thus they thought more education would make them more marketable. My father had a term for these kind of people who are educated but completely useless -- scum grads or sampah.  So that is why it is significant to look for job experience when hiring and not just to look at education.

One of my best friend’s colleagues had a master’s degree but their boss could never be confident that any of his work was dependable. His incompetence is really shocking. No one even believed he has a master’s degree. A bad apple.

Someone who happens to be from a wealthy background once told me that anyone who claims that they can’t afford to attend college, is actually stupid and not because they can't afford to study..... Wowww..these rich people… they’re so quick to tell you to pick yourself up by your bootstraps and just stop being poor...

P/S This post is not about anyone in particular…but hey, if the shoe fits, wear it!
