Funny, I would use the same commercial to explain why a degree is not
necessary to do great things, or to get great jobs.

> Abe Lincoln walks into a potential employer's office and sits downs. The
> employer reviews Honest Abe's accomplishments. "Very, impressive! But,
> what about college?" The commercial ended with what became a catch
> phrase in the late early 70's.
> "Sorry, Abe. I'm you're going nowhere without that sheepskin."
