I took a year of college in a 2yr local campus. Then the college asked me to teach night courses in computer science. This was in the 80’s and I ended up teaching for 9 years 5 different programming languages, logic & design, operations courses. When asked if I had a degree I always said No, but I did launch over 2,000 students towards theirs.
“I did launch over 2,000 students towards theirs.”
At the risk of being repetitious, I will repeat my response to BMATR003, “I would conclude that you used your lack of education well!”
