education is overrated
Today I helped my dad jump his car. Jumping a car isn't rocket science, but my dad was still impressed - "Yeah yeah! Berkeley EE major!" (something to that effect). This after I'd just looked up instructions on how to do it 2 minutes earlier. Reminds me of when my mom asks for my help - "Hey Electrical Engineer, come fix my light bulb for me" or "Help CS guy, my Microsoft Word doesn't show the language bar." I'd like to think they are joking but you never know.
In reality they should be correctly saying "Hoover Elementary School Grad" since that's where I learned to read. Everything follows from there.
