I have a degree in Computer Science with a minor in stats.
So, I have a strong mathematical background.
But, over the last 26 years, I've found that it intimidates my management.
Even though it's a good background for capacity planning, my management team 
has always been scared of people 'smarter' than them.

So, I've learned to hide it and tried to communicate in non-technical terms.

The whole problem with today's education is that they attempt to deal with the 
lowest common denominator.
So, we get bored geniuses, or over-degreed morons.
