Oh and Arden--
You do have to watch people with degrees just like you have to watch anyone. I have an EE degree so I can say this.
I had a whole roomful of computer scientists tell me they knew how to build a better data system than mine when we sold our company. I warned the president that they didn't know what they were talking about, but he went with them anyway. $700,000 and a year and half later the 'experts' finished their system to replace my $70,000 system. Almost immediately, the calls started coming in from customers asking for the old system back.
My business partner quit in frustration.
So you gotta watch scientists with degrees sometimes.
