What does a degree have to do with brains?

Especially these days with the explosion of frivolous degrees. Anybody can get one.

Exactly!!!

My favorite scientist of all time has always been Oliver Heaviside.
Home schooled, self educated and too poor to attend college, he taught himself the basics of electrical engineering. He invented the Laplace Transform (got no credit); invented transmission lines equations and corrected Maxwell’s paper on electromagnetic field theory (Einstein, intellectual snob that he was, would not recognize his genius and would not credit him with electromagnetic field theory and would only refer to it as Maxwell’s equations, because Heaviside did not have a college degree.)

Degrees are overrated.
