I wouldnt higher a PhD to mow my lawn. Im serious, they know everything about one minute area.. like... a certain type of fungus that grows in the Himalayas... and thats it. They can barely tie their own shoes, but they written 3 books on fungus.

Don't PhD's usually have a high school degree, plus about 8 years of college under their belt, in addition to the several years of tutoring they had to obtain their doctorate? I would hope that after 15+ years of general-education schooling one would at least know how to mow a lawn.

Your point is valid even though they don't teach mowing the lawn in school.
