Indeed they do. Rather nice houses, some of 'em, in my experience. Nicer than mine, anyway.
As you imply, people who didn't finish (or in some cases among the people I know for whom that is the case, even start) HS and didn't go in for any post-secondary education often resent not having that acknowledged as a legit standing, and resent the assumptions people make about them on the basis of their educational background. They've got good reason to.
But I occasionally get slightly tweaky about the common presumption that if one *has* gone in for post-secondary education, one must perforce *not* be a high-school dropout, too -- for some of the same reasons.
