I would happily welcome a discussion with you.

First, it's "interest" not "intrest" . Now just how do you" maintain" a
degree? Do they take it back if you don't change the oil every 5,000 miles?

My degree has an unconditional warranty...

But I do have to rotate the tires every now and then!

I gotta admit, I chuckled.

How about we define "maintaining" a degree in that I USE it. I take the knowledge, research skills and wisdom I earned in getting that degree and keep the edge sharp.

Better? Can we get back to the point now?

I think us civilians should STFU about situations we suspect we know oodles about. If anyone has a problem with the way we treat those morons I ask that you adopt/sponsor one in your home this summer.
