"Doing that successfully is an accomplishment."

<eyeroll> I know how important it is for you to believe that given
your obvious lack of accomplishments, but no, repeating what you were
told in a classroom is not any more an accomplishment than buying a
hammer and a saw.

It's what you do with the education and the carpenter tools that can
be an accomplishment. Some people cease their education with the
diploma or the degree. Others go on learning new tools their entire
lives. Sometimes for their advancement of a career, sometimes simply
for the stimulation and excitement of an new activity.

For all your bragging and invectives, there are people in this very
forum, myself included, that have made far more of their lives than
you with your college degree. That includes accomplishments in our
professional and recreational lives.
