You don't need a degree to be helpful in some area, barring medical conditions in all...
And in my experience some people with a degree are far less helpful than your average forumer.

I hate that I smoke an incredible amount of cigarettes
I hate that I'm lazy and don't do things that don't interest me (like work or school)
I feel like sort of a pansy saying this, but I hate being a bit chubby
I hate that I svck at communication and relationships (my gradma doesn't even talk to me anymore

)
I hate that I can sometimes lose touch of reality
I hate that I can be a bit arrogant when it comes to my abilities (but I hate even more that this bothers other people

)
I'll stop now...
