I always find it kind of pathetic. If you're bragging about which school you went to, clearly you didn't accomplish much with that degree to be proud of.

It's like people who shove down your throat that they have a PhD. Like good for you, but what did you do after that? Did you seriously peak in life when writing your dissertation?

I have a PhD but you would never know it if you met me or we were casual friends. Of course, my friends from school and my family know about it. But it doesn't come up in conversation - unless someone explicitly raises the topic of education, degrees, universities, etc., in which case it might come out. Otherwise, I have zero reason for that tidbit to be shared.
