I wouldn't call it stigma then.

Sure, it may rarely come up in discussions but it doesn't imply someone is inferior to someone else.

The kind of people who believes formal education trumps everything are not in touch with the reality of education.

You probably did way more learning in your professional career than most graduates do during their degree.



That's probably a fair call out. I don't think that I can point to any recent personal examples of clear bias / stigma.


It is stigma because many people like these are in positions of power and they get to decide who passes the CV filter, for example.
