I'm not ashamed of it, but I don't brag about it either. I have a Master's degree, but don't talk about it. It's just a tool I earned to be able to do the work I do.
To me higher education does not necessarily mean smarter. One of my friends is incredibly bright and has a high school education. My husband was brilliant but never finished his Bachelor's because he could be bothered to take classes he was not interested in.
edited to add...
I have a friend whose granddaughter is in her last year of vet school. Her two sisters sailed through school with As and Bs and didn't have to work for them. She had to bust her backside for similar grades. Her senior year of college three of the top vet schools recruited her to come to their program. She'll get her DVM next May. A local vet woed her into joining their practice when she graduates. She currently at Cornell after being invited to a symposium there. Cornell is one of the most prestigious vet colleges in the country. She might not be the smartest of the sisters, but she sure has accomplished a whole heck of a lot!
