The sad part here is that the 4-year degree vs high-school also feels like it's probably more of a class divide than anything else.

- araes 2y agoThat was kind of my take on the situation also. Something of unspoken class divide in America. I've seen the same on several discussion forums, where writers talk that way, using terms and self descriptions that are like internalized societal denigration. Like they're not really part of America, because they didn't get the 4-year degree that's expected. They get some form of implicit "you're not book smart" response, or "you're not pursuing societally 'correct' behavior", and that turns into a class divide. Often it seems to arise like resentment or hate for not choosing whatever it was you're "supposed" to do to be socially acceptable.
