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?

It’s a dream of mine to get a PhD and I’m really hoping to go to a prestigious school for it and I’m happy with where I went for my undergrad but I roll my eyes so fucking hard when people insist on being called doctor or need to bring up that they have a PhD or a degree from a good school of whatever. Same with bragging about having a degree in stem or business or whatever instead of one of those oh so inferior arts degrees. I agree it’s completely pathetic. 

I swear some people just went to a certain school or got a PhD so they can feel smarter than others. Just for their own ego. Not because they want to actually achieve something meaningful or have it in them to do so.
