If you heard the commercial for W-C, you know what I mean.

I came from Fanshawe and I have nothing to apologize for. A lot of very talented university-educated folk (including college post-grad, and P.Eng.'s) work for me.
Where I work, college and university grads work on the same level - the only difference is the colour of the trim of the diploma on their wall. I know some college-educated staff whom have the biggest projects of the season ($6M+), and some University grads who after several years on the job still need their hands held. I also know the same situation vice-versa.
Oh, and PS - my father went to Central. He graduated and walked up the street to London Life and got a job. He retired managing several dozen systems analysts - most university grads.
Oh and PPS - the project manager for the Wonderland Road N widening project is a high school grad.
