My grandfather only finished the 8th grade but went on to be an engineer for Packard Motors.

My late father also was an 8th grade graduate. I always point out, however, that it was 8 years with nuns. In his job as a welder, he would often complain about college grad engineers who couldn't read a blueprint. My Dad could read a blueprint easily.

The kids coming out of college don't know any better. They've bought into the system and expect things to work out perfectly once they've finished.
