And they freak out when you ask them to explain how "acupuncture" works without using the originators methodology.

I don't know much about Eastern medicine, but feel like some western scientists should not sneer down their noses at it.
We need enough money to be reasonably comfortable, but it's more important to enjoy one's job and the people one works with.
Dedication to the pursuit of material possession and extravagant affluence is shallow and without meaning or value

Agreed 100%. To pursue money solely for the hoarding of money is an empty life, IMO.
Well said and agreed. Unfortunately, American culture is highly commercialized and "success in life" is measured in the size of one's bank account or how much "stuff", as George Carlin once talked about, one can accumulate before dying and leaving it all behind.
I encourage people to take advantage of community colleges and public state colleges, if it suits them.
It is extremely rare to run across someone so elitist they will sneer down their nose at a State university education.

Any education from an accredited college or university is a step in good direction.
A college degree opens a lot of doors. Results count. IMO, Perry is angry because his efforts failed and his life didn't turn out the way he wanted it to go. If so, it was most likely due to his mental illness, not a lack of trying. His mindset now indicates a person who is in need of help but not getting it.
An obsessive compulsive personality. I don't think he hardly does anything here except read my threads and compose war zone threads about you.
I never sneered the education of my peers who were graduates of Sacramento State and Long Beach State.

I like the war zone threads.
If nothing else, it gives him a safe space to act out for observation. LOL He likes to attack you because you're one of the very few intellectuals on JPP. He's jealous and his obsessiveness ensures he can't quit you. 
Anyone who completes an accredited degree should be respected. I worked in airline recruiting for 6 weeks once while my wife had medical issues. It was very interesting to see the process from the other side of the table. In flying, the degree was a door opener. Nobody gave a shit what the degree was. STEM was more respected than French literature, but there was no score for one over the other. A lot went to mindset; a STEM degree requires a studious and methodical approach. French Lit, from what I understand, is a little more "lofty" and more philosophical. IMO, the degree helps make the person, but the person has to have a certain mentality to be drawn to a degree. Regardless, if they had the proper flight certificates, flight time and a college degree from an accredited college, along with a few other requirements, they were interviewed. OTOH, it didn't matter if they had a rocket science degree from MIT or a French Lit degree from Podunk U., if they couldn't fly the simulator, they weren't hired.
I was part of the Captain (pilot) interview. They also had an HR interview. Again, being an MIT grad with a 4.0GPA didn't matter if they were assholes to the HR person. A Navy friend failed an interview because he became a little to casual with the receptionist. It was her black mark that shot him down. Applicants don't always seem to understand being on their best behavior at all times, even at the hotel they stay at for the interview. I can see how an OCD and/or bipolar personality would have difficulty getting a job.
It is extremely common to have fake intellectuals insult those who have actual education because they are jealous and unable to achieve it on their own.
Of course you didn't sneer at them. You were beneath them.
I wonder if the name COREY means anything.

A Harvard degree has it's appeal, but the public state universities train people to work in white collar professional jobs. I never ran across an engineer from Harvard in decades of work; the engineers were all from LSU, Oklahoma, Texas A&M., Fresno State, Cal Poly.
Agree that some dudes can't catch a clue about being on best behavior. Interns and new hires being let go for leering a little too obviously at female staff; that's a bad move
Yeah, we know you don't know what the DSM is, you don't know what the YBOCs is, you don't know anything you supposedly studied in psychology. That's sad.

Someone has been Googling again. LOL
Did you learn about Corey in grade school, Perry?
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Elias-James-Corey
Elias James Corey, (born July 12, 1928, Methuen, Mass., U.S.), American chemist, director of a research group that developed syntheses of scores of complicated organic molecules and winner of the 1990 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his original contributions to the theory and methods of organic synthesis.
^^^Doc C. says "I'm rubber, you're glue, what bounces off me, sticks on you". From his dissertation: "The Junior High Playground".
LOL. Did it land? Just curious how good I am at this.
