Years of institutionalization don’t equal “education”, nor do degrees - nor are all degrees equal within the same specialty or across specialties.
Nobody in his right mind would think, for example, that the average VA doctor is as competent as the average private practice doctor (unless you have never dealt with the VA).
I would also point out that graduate degrees in areas such as “education” and anything with a “studies” in the name have a negative value and are warning signs of credulous minds stuffed with things that aren’t true. Government abounds with these people who produce negative value added. A high school student with good CAD skills or a Microsoft certification is more “educated” that any of these people, if we are looking at education as meaning the ability to add value.
Moreover, the value of someone’s effort depends on how it is used. Even a great legal mind drafting regulations to implement Barney Frank’s plans for “affordable” housing is producing negative value.
The article is just propaganda to justify high salaries and benefits for government drone work.

The only value a government employee has, in terms of productivity, is the degree to which he protects, enhances or otherwise enables a private sector worker to produce.
