I came from a place where you'd aspire to be middle class and to be intellectual.
University degree was an ultimate goal - and not less than a master degree.
Now, since I've been to the UK almost on a daily basis I hear that I ask too many questions ("Who cares if that language is Indo-Aryan or Dravidian?" I hear for example) and that university means nothing if it's not followed by the money (executive position etc). I have no other skill other than 5 years of reading theory of culture and film. People just call everyone with bit of sense posh twat and take the piss. They also assume that I'm a soft target.
Posh twat
