you can call yourself whatever the hell you want (ie level 98 dwarf wizard king).  i'm a degreed mechanical engineer who knows that other folks know more than i do; i just happen to have a degree

that's o.k. as I've been around plenty of engineers who have papers and should'nt! Best I've worked with at 51 yrs. old have been Germans, I won't say who's last. This has been automated production installation.

I had a friend who had a job in a chemical mfg. enviroment. The owner knew that he needed help. Finally after a long wait help came. During the first meeting with the new mgr. My friend was informed by the new hire he did attend colledge and got a degree. His first two assignments he screwed up bad. After the third screwup my friend asked him what kind of degree he had. His reply was BODY SHOP!!!
