Why are people who don't have degrees always so weird about it?

A history of being forced to overcompensate to assert themselves in spaces where they otherwise aren't taking seriously.

People that have multiple degrees are usually pretty weird about it too.

That might be what you intended but saying "outperforming the academic nerds with zero experience" comes across as bitter and arrogant.
