It looks as thought the Twitter user going by the handle of betbot is going to spend the next little while absorbing a very important lesson about managing one’s online persona after making this tweet at the Mesh Conference:
betbot’s profile vaingloriously proclaims that he has three Master’s degrees:
Self-proclaimed marketing guru trying to put my 3 hard-earned Masters to work
If you;ve spent any time on a university campus, you know that having that many Master’s degrees is not a boasting point; it’s a cry for help – it means you’re a shiftless pedant majoring in life-avoidance studies. As for putting “marketing guru” in your Twitter profile; it’s a cliche on par with “I like long walks on the beach” in the personal ads.

Another example, in a sea of examples… of a self proclaimed “expert” who just doesn’t get it.
I’m wondering, does 3 masters degrees just mean you are a PhD FAIL?
Self-proclaimed marketing guru is probably synonomous with douchebag.
3 Masters = 3 reasons not to hire him.
And the best line of all:
“…having that many Master’s degrees is not a boasting point; it’s a cry for help – it means you’re a shiftless pedant majoring in life-avoidance studies.”
I love how the community is self policed, you really can’t make a ignorant statement like that and get away with it.
3rd masters = ABT (All But Thesis); sound like anyone you know Crow?
2 however is perfect :)
