Got my Bachelors in Engineering, specifically Fluid Physics and Dynamics.
Never really used it except to be a better plumber.
Being a smart plumber bought my wife a new car every 2 years and paid for our house 10 years early.
Was a plumber 8 years before I went back to school, only went back because I wanted to be better at my trade.
Retired now with 2 homes bought and paid for; property in Washington state, Nevada, Idaho, and Arizona.
Don’t know what I will do with the out of state properties, but they are nice to have.
Going back to school as soon as my wife is retired (1 more year), want to learn more geology now.
The only time I ever used my degree was when I taught labor relations for one semester at FIU. The rest of the time I taught management. Then 30 years in the Mortgage Industry. No college degree required to be an underwriter or mortgage broker. Much less a Masters degree. But one thing it always did for me was get me into the interview ahead of everybody who didn’t have one.
