Educational background is DEFINITELY NOT a criteria for friendship. If they are avoiding you for reasons of not being able to get a degree like they did, well you have to accept the reality that THEY WERE NEVER REALLY FRIENDS, afterall. All they wanted to share with you was the good times, and that was it. so forget about these people, they are not worth the friendship you offer, there are lots of other people who can be your friend, without any conditions at all.

You may right on this but there could be reasons on why they haven't made any communications. There could be lots of reasons like the person himself has not made any move on communicating, his friends have lost any forms of communication with that person and a lot more. Ask yourself have you ever made a move on communicating with them or not? If not then it's time to bring back what you had years ago. Things may change, you may look old or something but if your friendshipwas true then it would't be awkward. However, your point of educational background which is not a criteria for friendship in which I agreed upon was true. It is not on what you have but who you are and how you compliment each other.

If they're really avoiding you then they're not your friend indeed. I think it does not matter if you are rich or poor or you have degree or not,but if you call someone 'a friend',then in any situation they are your friend. If they avoid you then they are not youir friend.
Just ignore them. U don't need this type of friend in your life.
I have one story to tell ya. I have this one friend. After getting my degree, this girl kept avoiding me. At first i wonder why. Then,i make an effort to meet her and ask her. She told me that she thought after i got the degree, i don't want to be friend with her so she avoid me. But i told her just like what i said earlier. Friend will accept you as what you are, rich or poor,bad or good.:)

Educational background is not a criteria for friendship in my own opinion. I have lots of friends who don't have a degree abd I enjoy being with them. In mosy cases, I would prefer to go with them if I go out to unwind from my busy work. They make me laugh, they know how to care for you and most of the time they use their emotions to understand one's situation. When I was very down, I didn't expect that the one who gave me the best inspiring idea in my life was someone who didn't have a chance to study and I really appreciate that.
