Regrettably that's where we are. Being educated is considered something of a negative characteristic. Personal experience is where it's at now, even when that experience has no bearing on basically anything.
Perhaps this was the inevitable progression of how our careers progressed, based around technical and procedural experience. It somehow morphed into the experience of simply being alive, whether exposed to anything that actually broadened knowledge base or not, being superior to an education.
