Has working made your attitude change?

You are a prime example of the reason why the general working class population holds students in their eyes with iron contempt; why students nowadays are afraid to enjoy the British cultural tradition of walking into a traditional public house; why they have to be careful about which council estate they venture through at night. And rightly so. It almost seems like university is becoming an outlet for snobbish "intellectuals" who have merely had the privilege to have been conditioned into being able to jump through hoops in the forms of assignments and examinations, and fake their way through university, having no ability to think outside the box whatsoever.

You can congratulate yourself all you like on your personal victories of intellectual magnificence, that you have indeed got to university! However, when you're incorporated into the real world, you can buy yourself a neat little cottage in the suburbs, far away from the estates that house the people who you have come to prudishly detest and turn your back on, yet you cannot and will not seperate yourself from them completely.

I'm not arguing over whether they're intelligent. You missed my point, which is that you're pompous, and you think just because you don't have a high opinion of their job, it gives you the right to slate them. It's called courtesy. My guess is that if you were that assured about your background, you wouldn't be such a ******

I have no problems being pompous. I believe anyone has the right to slate anyone for any reason. Courtesy is my choice and I choose not to use it in this case. And thanks for the psychoanalysis, but I need to see your pHD and where its from before I take it seriously.

Snobs are detestable, wannabee-but-not quite-made-it snobs detestable and also deluded.

so london penthouse afforded by having no social life until I'm about nighty. .

LOL I love snobs...at least they have standards, and not double standards. Not-quite-made it snobs are only deluded if they are not aware that they havent made it (and I am painfully aware of the fact)

I made you reply with a double posting, clearly you're showing weakness; your elitist credibility must be called into question.

I am a computer engineer/IT consultant and also have to put up a with a few know it all customers. These are the worst and I usualy kind fix it the problem with these customers because they don't let you, when the customers just let you do want you want you can always fix the problem.

Luckily I get very customers like this. I find the best customers are the ones that know a bit about computers because they know I know what I am doing and I can usualy get a lot work done very quickly with this sort of customer because you're not spending all day trying to explain somthing.

I really hate some of these students who think they above the rest of us yet have never done a days work in their life. I have a degree, I run my own business, I am no better as a person than anybody working in McDonalds or driving buses. In fact without those workers I would be starving and I would not be able to get to jobs

You clearly are better than them, and you could just bring a sandwich from home.
