I believe whatever a person earns is important to them, but it should not become their identity that dominates a conversation of life. It is awesome to be proud of one's accomplishments, but I do not believe it becomes your identity in regular life.

@WillaKissing Unless you're an Academic and then it matters when how many letters after your name determines how much you can earn and for many of them, their identity too!

@spjennifer Yes, in the professional world it matters earning your living. I am talking about in everyday life when meeting average folk.

@WillaKissing Oh agreed, I just meant it matters to that specific group more than most 😊

@spjennifer Yeah, I know, and I am divorced from one of those type women, and she has to let everyone know how smart and accredited she is but was a terrible wife.

@WillaKissing Dr. So and so, meet Doctor So and so, neither of them are medical Doctors. I've been in a room where that happened at a conference once, one was a PHD in Philosophy and the other in English Lit 🤪 Imagine a whole room full of them, insufferable! 😵💫
