Because the individuals in question have no interest in honest discussions. They want to feel superior about the degrees they earned and have to #### on others to achieve that means. When you can't even articulate the difference between degrees, that displays the lack of understanding of the larger issue. Also, what was dishonest about the question? If you're going to claim superiority over something shouldn't you have a concise understanding of the criteria that differentiates the two classifications? Asking someone who claims one is better than the other is not a dishonest question. It is actually asking someone to back up their #### and justify their position.

Can have as much value and have as much value in aggravate are two significantly different things. If one chooses to use earnings as a proxy for value this is quite clear. Now earnings isn’t a great metric of value but in our society it’s the one we use.

See, this is just dick measuring. There is a lot more to the value of a degree than money earned. Teachers provide a massive lift to society versus - using an example - lawyers, yet lawyers are paid much more money. Does that mean people with law degrees are better than people with education degrees? I don't think so. Lawyers have their purpose in society, but teachers are much more valuable in the bigger picture.

Your final statement misses one key factor just as the institution granting the degree confers certain value regardless of the persons skill level the field a defeee is in confers certain value as well.

To a point. Many time society's values are completely ####ed up. How is someone who is educating the future of our society somehow less valuable than the previously identified lawyer, or another example, a stock broker? Who provides more value? Who has more skill? Why do we place more value on something that services so few, but place lesser value on those that develop our future? Society is ####ed up.
