This probably depends on where you end up working. My wife works at a place where everyone has an associates degree or higher, and this seems to be the most respectful and most professional group of people she's ever worked with (according to her, and according to what I'm hearing about it.)

I had the opposite experience. I took a test to become eligible for a postal worker job and I failed, bigtime. It was a memorization test, and I couldn't memorize the stuff. They gave us like 5 minutes to read and try to memorize addresses, and I couldn't do it. (But I swear that I could deliver mail just as well as the next guy if I were given the chance.)
