Snob

Jobsnobs or actually....educationsnobs. The world is full of them! So is the blogosphere.
People that claim to be smarter because of their education, or simply because they have an education. Craftsmen are probably good at what they do, but you can't have an intelligent conversation with them.

However I'm willing to testify that many academics are impossible to listen too and talk with. In short: Intelligence doesn't depend on education. 

Neverthelss many seem to believe that this is the case. Denmark and other Scandinavian countries are a beautiful example of this snobbery. Every child is more or less expected to go to highschool or corresponding educational establishment, everything else is failure. Moreover university graduates will claim that they have nothing in common with people, with a lower education level.

I have many different friends, with whom I have many different things in common. But none of them are my friends because we are equally educated. Qualities such as empathy, great humour and commitment are more important to me and I've found these qualities in all types of people.

It would be nice if we could throw this idea of the supremacy of higher education overboard and just see people for who they are, instead of what they are.
