No
I am saying that having a degree gives you confidence, and an ability to comunicate thoughts and ideas as well as engage in a thoughtfull discushion.
While some (not all) try to fulfill there confidence with money and goods.
Many accademics I find (I am not claiming to be one) are not interested in wealth but rather in the persuite to learn more and gain more knolege.
Even in Star Treck they state that people no longer get paid but work to better themselves.
