I am 28 without a graduation degree, is that socially acceptable?

I do not know if you mean graduate degree or high school graduation or graduation from any school at all. People judge universities saying they teach nonsense but the fact is, university graduates are better at regulating their social behaviour and their emotions, and are less likely to do drugs or disrespect others.

I find the more trained somebody is in school and the higher their school credentials, the more respect they usually have for others, because you cannot accomplish anything unless you show respect for others.

I know people who disrespected others while achieving things and they lost their achievements through job termination or disease or brain injury.

You cannot be successful without showing respect for others. Stolen success is temporary success, not permanent success.

It is indeed okay that you do not have a degree. There are many that choose other paths than higher education. If they didn't we wouldn't have many much needed jobs filled. Graduate degrees are not for everyone and does not make you any less valuable of a person than anyone else. It just means that you chose a different path and that is okay. The only people that would likely look down on you are those that are stuck up and have their graduate degrees. Those people are not worth thinking about or worrying about their opinions. You do you and carve your own path in life. Be proud of it and embrace who you are. That is really the only thing that matters... that you are happy with where you are in life.

Of course it is. If you want to date, it's good to have a career, but not all careers require a college degree. Some occupations that used to require a degree, like computer programming, no longer do.

Societal norms vary, but lacking a degree at 28 is not uncommon. Many successful individuals have taken non-traditional paths. Focus on building skills, gaining experience, and showcasing your capabilities. Learning is lifelong; consider online courses, certifications, or practical experience to enhance your career. Emphasize qualities like adaptability, problem-solving, and continuous learning to make significant strides in your professional journey.
