Our culture has morphed from respecting scholars to giving undue credit to college grads. Most graduates in the Humanities are ignorant and can barely write a proper English sentence.

My husband and I were typical snobs about education and when one of our daughters married an auto mechanic we groaned inwardly. But he turned out to be a great blessing to our family. Honest and hardworking. Do you know how hard it is to find someone for an honest repair job? And he never charges us. We love him to death.

I used to work with the jr high kids at my church. I had a guy years ago, comes from a VERY affluent family. The youngest child and very pampered. who is now a principal at a school. Boat load of education. Can't string a thought into sentences or paragraph's. Can't spell worth a darn. And I don't mean he misses a letter or hits the wrong key.
He's terrible at simple math. But hey, he has others to take care of that for him.

He's an educator, leading other educators, teaching todays kids.

I might be just a "dumb construction worker", but what passes for education today, is an embarrassment.
