Yeah most likely it is...But the thing is in most professions layman are looked upon as a hindrance by those with fancy degrees the only profession I see that really wants layman input is Astronomy...(Amateur Astronomers)...For example go to a religion forum and began debating them, it won't be long before they are going to throw a degree in your face especially when you back them in a corner. They use the degree to discredit what you write...As most people with degrees do to some one who is not a specialists in their particular field. There is nothing wrong with getting an education but do not use it as a weapon because you think you know it all....
