Wow, this all happened so quickly.

If we are going to have MG badges, then I think it is only fair to also have one for those with college degrees in horticutlture or related backgrounds. When people see how much I know, they often remark: "Are you a master gardener?". It irks me because when I tell them I have a degree (that includes a 100 times more horticulture instruction), it hardly makes an impact.
Similarly, without a badge my degrees are relegated to a lower class than a master gardener who has a badge.
