On the other hand, can the people who have put in the hard work to get those degrees have the humility to accept differing opinions? Nobody wants to have some amateur tell them something about their line of study is incorrect, but this is where temperament comes into play.

Temperament is great & so is a little respect. You said that respect had to be earned here (can't recall the thread, but I think that was you) yet I have a daughter your age and I still consider her a kid. She works full time & goes to college, is highly intelligent but hasn't gained the wisdom that age brings. So I consider you a kid, nothing personal thats just the way it is. I've served in the military, worked my entire life, supported my family, started my own business and ran it for 20 years, and now own a beautiful home on 3 1/2 acres thats completely paid for & I have no debt whatsoever, yet I should earn your respect??? What exactly have you done to earn my respect??? If you're going to say "started a message board", well, that ain't gonna do it for me.
