If I can do it, You can do it.

"If I can do it, You can do it"

I just watched the second commercial where the phrase "If I can do it, you can do it" bears its ugly head. The first was for one of those online colleges...perhaps Everest College? It was more of a "if he can do it, you can do it" so this poor guy didn't have any way of defending himself. The one I just saw encouraged people to become school bus drivers. A woman says "If I can do it, you can do it".

Am I the only one who finds this phrase offensive? Doesn't it seem like these people are saying "hey, we're the lowest common denominator. We have no skills but we managed to get this degree / do this job". Maybe it's just me, but this doesn't seem like the best marketing technique.

Just a little peeve. Beg to differ? If I can do it, you can do it.
