Hi G-Chick. When I was new to my Wis. Air Guard unit I met one of the senior officers. He was wise and witty and a pretty darn good pilot. Do to the nature of the Guard, I didn't know what a lot of the folks, except for fellow airline pilots, did in their civilian jobs. I eventually learned this smart and charming fellow was a janitor at a local high school. Goes to show you cannot judge a book by its cover or a person by their job.

Over the years I have learned that many who work at so called menial jobs have accumulated more wisdom and common sense than many of the business school executives who oversee them.

You are so right, Foxy!! Unfortunately too many people believe that a college degree automatically guarantees wisdom. Biggest myth around—I learned that very early in my long life. My friends marveled at the fact that a janitor had knowledge that highly-educated medical personnel did not. But they weren’t surprised. Their parents were all Italian immigrants who had minimal education but were extremely wise.
