Could someone tell me why some people take so much umbrage at people who have multiple degrees? Or degrees in multiple areas? I made a remark about a "product design with an MPD" to someone at work, and she asked me what an MPD was. Okay, that's a Multiple Personality Disorder--and I made the joke that I had to use the Psych degree for *something*.
Now, this is someone I may talk to once a quarter or so, and then it's usually about something exciting like the new bug tracking tool. I got a 30 second lecture on being over-educated, and then she stalked off. Weirdness.
