I'm one of the people in question here. I can be having a lovely conversation with someone, but when it eventually comes up that I dropped out of secondary school, they go sour-faced and think of me as some sort of idiot, and the conversation quickly ends.
One time, I was conversing with a teller while cashing my considerably large paycheck, and she became condescending the moment she heard I dropped out (I prefer the term 'ascended above'). Ignorance is deeply rooted, I guess.
I guess people like feeling superior, regardless of how rooted in reality that feeling is.
