If becoming an engineer or manager means having a rude, holier-than-thou attitude like yours, I'll keep my lowly sys admin job.
Oh, and by the way I gave up my management job to do the work I'm doing today.
As a developer you must also know that without your buggy, insecure code we wouldn't have jobs. Thank-you for my job, I know I'll have it for many years to come.
I would guess that if you treated all the Sys Admins that have "served you" with this kind of "respect", you're getting exactly what you deserve.
The last job I had had too many users like you, so I quit. I don't "serve" anyone. I do my job and I do it well. I treat everyone I help with the respect they deserve, and they treat me with respect.
Other than making making me a pompus braggart, what good would a 4-year degree have done me? When I was in University in the late 80's, there was no Microsoft Windows (well there was but it was even crappier than it is now). There was no public Internet, no web servers to manage, no e-mail. I would have had to go to school to keep up with these technologies anyway. I didn't waste 4 years of my life learning a bunch of theoretical crap, I learned how to use computers and how to treat people. Two things you obviously missed out on.
