depends on the context. . .
If I'm dealing with something medically serious, I want to know that the MD is competent. If I don't have personal access to his track record, the best evidence is her credentials (where'd he go to school, where'd she do her residency).
If I'm ordering a drink at the bar, I don't care where the bartender went to school.
well, medical doctors have pretty strict and high standards. furthermore, it begs me to say that I would never go to someone who has suspect credentials. I see those tv shows where people go to doctors who claim to be plastic surgeons but only really had 6 weeks of workshops or whatnot amd end up being screwed because of mistakes. if they couldn't get into a surgery residency, then perhaps they should not be doing surgery! same thing with our situation here at hand.
p.s. i'm not even close to being rich. in fact, I'm wearing clothes that I have had since the 7th grade and my family drives a car that's as old as I am. so i'm going to take offense to being called a brat because I happen to go from UG to G with no "life experience"
