For those of you without a college degree, who work with at least one person who does, do you ever have issues with such people "lording" it over you because they have a degree(s), and you don't?

Don’t get me wrong…I have great respect for those who have accomplished this achievement, but twice this year alone I have had a coworker throw it in my face because they had a college degree and I didn’t.

The latest was from a lady who has been at our school for two days; I have been there eight and a half years. I just recently taught math (under my supervisor’s certification) until they could get someone hired. I would not have been asked to do that unless they thought I could do a good job.

I returned to school a few years ago. I can only go evenings and weekends, but I am doing what I can as fast as I can, what with having to work a full time job at the same time. This just made me feel horrible!
