The opposite is true. Many Americans seem to have more respect for upper class people who have useless university degrees, and who are very wealthy. Many famous American presidents, since their Civil War, came from wealthier, elitist, educated backgrounds. Even a lot of providence state governors there are wealthier and have useless university degrees. Americans seem to support more upper university level education.

Just because someone does not maintain an useless, university degree does not mean that they lack high intelligence. There are some very intelligent people who do not obtain university degrees. There are some people who have university degrees that are not very intelligent.
There are different types of intelligence. There are different variations. Everyone has their own abilities. Some people have more abilities than others. University degrees do not have to show that.
Potemkin wrote:Americans like to think that they are all equal to each other, and that even the dumbest hick has the right to have his bigoted, retarded opinions given equal weight to the considered views of professors or Nobel Prize winners.

Ironically, it tends to be the most right-wing Americans who are most in favour of this intellectual and academic dumbing-down.

Enforcing equality by dumbing everybody down to the same intellectual level.
Just because someone does not maintain an useless, university degree does not mean that they lack high intelligence. There are some very intelligent people who do not obtain university degrees. There are some people who have university degrees that are not very intelligent.
There are different types of intelligence. There are different variations. Everyone has their own abilities. Some people have more abilities than others. University degrees do not have to show that.
