it's not really another word for educated guess, that would be like...assumption. prejudice is "A preconceived preference or idea", or more commonly, the pejorative meanings such as "An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts." and " "Irrational suspicion or hatred of a particular group, race, or religion."
is it a bad thing? well, for the irrational hatred of a group, yeah, i think it's not a healthy productive thing and fits in the "bad thing" category. for the "preconceived preference or idea" then no, it's not bad.
i have a prejudice toward red wine, i don't like white wine, even though there are probably tasty white wines out there. i don't see that as a bad thing.
i'm not trying to put words in your mouth or tell you what you meant so i will only assume you were leaning toward "preconcieved preference" version of prejudice.
