I have several degrees. they mean nothing but do impress some people. When I was a financial advisor/broker I remember one client who had too much money and was looking for aplace to put it other than the banks cause interest rates were droping like crazy then. i was competing for his business with another broker. I don't put my degrees on my business cards but I did have them hanging on my back wall in my office. The client came in and told me that I had a much better presenation, what I recomened made a lot more sense and my fees were better than my competator but my competerator had a commerace degree and they were very impressed with that and wanted to know my credintals. I asked them to make a decision based on the work I did and my reputation and not some piece of paper. They thought about it and then decided to go with me. On the way out of the office they saw my degrees and asked me about them. Seems I had about 2 years MORE education than the other guy who kept bragging about how important his education training was. I smiled and said results matter, not education. They remained clients till I sold my financial practice and referred me to 4 other waelthy people who also became clients.
Sad part is my partner who was 55 years old has a grade 11 education and dealt with a lot more high end clients all the time than I did. Results matter - nothing else.
