I dont have a degree in anything. Ive read a lot and learned my trade well in an old fashioned apprenticeship system which serves me very well.
I would have been financially way ahead of where I am now if it wasnt for a 20 year bump in the road, and I could have developed much better along some important lines if my focus wasnt distracted.
Thankfully I never got too far away from my craft when various wayfers were urging me to quit and I was wasting years of my time.
