I think the fair comparison isn't they have a degree and I don't, it's they have a better life/savings/house/car than me, which is enabled in general by getting a degree, which becomes the common contention point.

Or more directly: many people with degrees are given management positions unjustifiably.

It's bizarre to see it all playing out in the open.
