Well, if you're posting here you can use a computer.
So, that at least puts you above a lot of Americans.


But, are ATOT'ers smarter or better edumacated than the average American?
Is we the elite?

Probably on average yes. But there are some tremendously stupid/uneducated people around here (fleabag, oldsmoboat, ZJ, etc.).

For Sure, UD says so!
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ATOT
The Internet's most elite congregation of ballers, rockstars, smart shoppers, the literary elite, music theorists, critical film analysts, Wall Street warlords, mechanical gurus, bulk beef experts, beer aficionados, armchair warriors, world policy architects, international playboys, theoretical physicists, mathematical prodigies and retired Formula 1 drivers.

Fact: ATOT accounts for ~13.56% of the US's GDP.

We also consume large quantities of Ramen, like shitty bands, create epic scenes at Wal-mart to weasel out 19 cents, think books are for lame n00bs, have a hard-on for Rick Astley, worship JAlba & Michael Bay, can't figure out EBay and PayPaypal, are borderline psychotic about buying American/Asian cars, use the 'in relation to electromechanical devices' scale for measuring meat products, live for WoW raids, have skinless & bloody shafts from excessive fapping, can't figure out if the plane takes off and (re)post shitty joke threads.

Funny you mention that, since I became a Chartered Surveyor today. I've now got a BEng, MSc and Chartership.

I'm a very happy person at the moment (and celebrating).

Funny you mention what???? WTF is happening in this thread!!

In terms of professional qualifications, in the field that I work in you can't go much beyond becoming chartered.

There are a lot of processes, which you have to conclude to the satisfaction of the institution to become a chartered member. It is not a walk in the park and is equivalent to becoming a qualified Architect, although it is for a different institution in the same industry. It takes a lot of time and effort and is a lot harder than a degree or masters (I should know I've got both).

So uh... still confused. Who mentioned what and where's the funny part?
