For some reason I always hear other people saying how Ford owners are typically uneducated, dumb and of lower class. That pisses me off! Sure our cars don't cost as much as BMW's or Mercedes but I love to support things made in our country and I really like my 2001 F150 and 99 stang. They aren't overpriced. They aren't inflated. But they look great and work perfectly and I know I'm getting great value for my money.

Ok now on to the uneducated part. Who in the hell do these people think they are by labeling us Ford owners stereotypically dumb and uneducated???? A few of my co-workers and other car affiliations have this belief. I don't know about you but it really gets under my skin.

I want to make a survery to show these people that we aren't dumb. Hell I bet that we have just as many or even more college graduates than other car affiliations.

So college graduates please post your degree and graduation year. I'll start off the post.

1998 - BSEE (electrical engineering) with minors in Physics and Math. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with honors and #1 in my department. I'm also a member of Tau Beta Pi and the National President's List.

2002 - JD (Juris Doctorate). Graduated with a specialty in the area of Intellectual Property with an emphasis in Patent Law. Top 20%. Scored a 166 on the LSAT first time. I now practice on my own after working several years in firms as well as corporations (apple, ibm and amd to name a few)

Im not sure if it is Magna Cum Laude or Suma Cum Laude. But it was 3.98. It's been a while since I looked into that. But they get a hold of you if they want you.

Floor/carpet installations just start out as an apprentice at the respective companies. Basically construction so no need for classes. Just go on the job and learn. No degree necessary.

Architecture is a Bachelors degree.

For me it was:

Summa Cum Laude 3.90-4.0
Magna Cum Laude 3.7-3.89
Cum Laude 3.5-3.69

Schools seem to vary but are still in the ballpark.

That's a brutal trade man, I would think of trying something else like electrician or carpenter. You'll make more money being an electrician or carpenter then you would being an architect btw.
