If you have one, does your college degree mean anything to you?
People always throw their degrees in conversation like it’s important.

I don't have a degree and I've been working in railways since 1987. I tried to get an electrical engineering degree but I had no gap between year 12 of high school and starting work/uni so the uni side became a disaster since I was totally burned out from trying to get a great yr 12 result that could have got me into any uni degree course I wanted.
TBH degrees are not necessary or required to have a good life. Education can open doors/pathways if you want to go that way, but I have been forever turned off wanting to be any sort of manager that I have zero interest in climbing the corporate ladder.
I've never had any interest in going back to tertiary education.

@zonavar68 Its not for everyone. In your situation I would only go back to acquire a specific skill through a short course. No more than 12 months part time.😷

@zonavar68 That qualifies you as "self educated" At this point if you went back to study those areas they might well give you an oral test to verify your expertise, then let you sit the exam and award you whatever diploma..😷
