Thats the pot calling the kettle black, Funny how most tradesmen go through TAFE to only "supplement" their learning, yet the knob with a degree, has to call on these lesser mortals to do a Professional job on his car.
The way it works around most places is, you get respect through your quality of work, not through the pieces of paper that you have framed sitting on the wall.
