Just wondering on how people judge/view/respect people who have a college degree vs. people without one?

If you are working at a job and two people who do the same thing at the same quality and with the same ethics and one has a degree and one doesn't - do you respect the one with a degree more than the one without?

Suppose you work for someone who is a terrible manager, has no experience, poor people skills, and is demeaning to others - if they have a degree do you give them more respect? Suppose you have a degree but work for someone who doesn't - even though they have been there a long time and have proven work successes?

Or if you work for someone who is a great manager, has lots of experience, great people skills and treats everyone with respect - if they have no degree do you not respect them as much?

Do you think the person with the degree should be promoted before the person without the degree - even if the one without does a better job?

Just curious because of some things going on at my work now.
