Why are people so uninformed or uneducated??

That seems like a ridiculous gauge of "stupidity". I have numerous people in my family who are very successful at various trades. A few finished college but many didn't, and they became electricians, carpenters, etc. They make really nice livings for themselves based on their technical knowledge and experience, yet they don't know the first thing about which schools are good and which aren't. For example, I told them I got into U. Chicago and Cornell. They had never heard of Chicago, and one only knew Cornell since he loves college hockey. That makes them stupid? I don't think so.newrich wrote:So, I was just at a family bbq. And my older cousin was telling people that he was going to Northwestern Law School.

Well, that's good advice for most people.esq wrote:Develop some tolerance and understanding for others.
Some people, not me, OBVIOUSLY, are sticklers for grammar. For example, I could read your paragraph, notice how you incorrectly used "than," and use that information to assume that you, and others who don't have a good grasp of homophones are uneducated imbeciles. But I won't. Maybe you should do the same.So, I was just at a family bbq. And my older cousin was telling people that he was going to Northwestern Law School.

newrich wrote:Yeah, I know this is out of place but. I was gonna be a lawyer and was under the impression that undergrad didnt matter. So, I took a half ride to Boston College over nothing at cornell. But, I decided to go into business so undergrad does matter. Even if i get an mba. SO, I have a 3.9 at BC with a ton of EC's...Chances at cornell?
