Years ago, while working at a VC firm (in the office pool) my wife got to pick her own title. I convinced her briefly to go with business cards with the title: Floccinaucinihilipilificatrix

My career in tech has never suffered for not having a college degree. I have lost jobs to people who had advanced degrees, but as far as I know I've never lost out on a job due to lack of a bachelor's. When I'm hiring I care
