work equality

I feel that my degree may cause a problem for a few people at the work place. People always looking at the next person trying to get a head in the game. If they feel that exposing something will affect your job and boost them up, they will do so. Many people may not understand the whole dynamics of our degree. Conclusion may be drawn up and be taken in a negative manner.
There is still those who may be open minded and see the benefits of my degree. The main thing is, if the people in power understand and give us a chance, then we can prove that we are a great asset to the organization.
