Okay you're 17
You are far too busy trying to attach labels to folks that are not true or factural.

I work as Director of Technology and Research for a law firm in East Tennessee (USA). Because of the nature of this area many of our clients are good hard working middle class folks who are a heck of a lot smarter than you are.

Some of the most literate and intelligent clients we have had in our office were truckers. Do not label them as something to be scorned, they are not. I know several truckers who have advanced degrees, but like going on the road a great deal more than sitting at a desk in an office. Also, truckers make a pretty good living. The same is true of many of the blue collar working professions, like auto mechanic. I have worked with clients that are truckers and have no college that are smarter than 95% of the I.T. people I meet. They know life, they have lived life, and most have had a real good time with life.

Look before you start casting stones. I hold a doctorate, and obviously I work with lawyers who hold advanced degrees, and staff that does to. But you know, the firm I work for is known for being open to all. Because I also direct research for the firm I often must work with the clients. I cannot tell you how many times truckers or other "blue collar" workers come into my office we get giddy over my newest computer, server, or whatever, and discuss it with a great deal of knowledge.

Tamuhockey, the only one around here that is a moron,...is the one you see in the mirror, you.
