My co-worker (whom we'll call "Jane Doe" for the purposes of this blog posting) recently changed her email signature from:
Jane Doe Jane Doe, BA
Program Manager TO ---> Program Manager Seattle-based Non-profit Seattle based Non-profit
Isn't this sad? Should I tell her that it's not all that special for people to have BAs (well, at least in places like Seattle where most of the population is highly educated it isn't) and that is why people don't usually insert them into their email signature? I feel like someone should tell her that it's not *actually* a status symbol. Furthermore, just the fact that you got a BA pretty much determines that your future place of employment will be a shitty non-profit. So, she should just assume that the rest of us made the same poor academic/career choices that led her here and that she is, as it turns out, not at all special. Sorry, Jane Doe, BA.
