The thing is that he didn't finish school and started working without graduating, IIRC. Now he has plenty of experience but no degrees to show around at all.

Then it should be easier to go back and fill in the blanks.

Iorm can give the details, but AFAIK it's way messier than that, and he'd have to basically start up from scratch.

The curricula I took back in the day dated from 1967. It's changed twice since then (last time to adapt to Bolonia). So basically I'm fucked on that front.

In any case there's not much reward in my line of business. Not here at least. Those of my mates with degrees are in the same place. Except they've got huge mortgages. :D

At least you'd get a discount on an Opel. Unless GM ended their once great employee discounts.

I'd be working for a contractor. None of the big factories hire talent to actually design their lines anymore.

How often did your accent get you laid?  I want daily metrics.   Amount of ass per day.

Engineering school. Worst fucking mistake of my life.

No way, man. You're going to actually make things.

Yeah, Spanish-type accents in California are so rare.
