Me too, except for beer snobs, and music snobs, and....
I agree, but in the interest of being fair to those that don't have a superior attitude about having a degree. CPG's "crude yardstick" analogy or metaphor was a good way of saying that a person can have a preference for a degree because it's a loose way of figuring out where someone is or might be in terms of life experience.

I think that perhaps you are projecting those attitudes onto people who do not have the agenda of snobbery behind the reason for preferring a partner with a higher education.
Its like me saying that a man who does not want to date me because I'm black automatically makes him a racist. It doesn't. That is a personal preference no matter how attractive or compatible I happen to be. The education argument is the same. Its personal preference.
