An friend of mine was once a chauffeur in Washington state. He happened to have to take a notable professor of Physics to an event. The two of them hit it off very well, and gabbed about various scientific topics en route. Once almost to the destination, the professor asks my friend where he earned his Doctorate, that he was so well-informed about these matters.
“Oh, I don’t have any degree,” he replies.
“How is this possible,” says the professor, “that you know these things yet have no accreditation?”
“Because I’m certainly capable of reading the same books you do,” my friend responds.
Knowledge hard-earned versus a piece of paper.
