   Most of my skills were self taught. I did take college courses for things   
   like licensing to sell Real Estate and such but mostly, if I couldn't sort   
   out something I wanted to try on my own, I'd find a book to show me.   
      
   So, I don't have a degree as such.. In comparison to the USA I would   
   have the equivalent of 1 year of universtity, plus a few college courses   
   to learn a specific thing.   
      
   In high school I did the hardest thing, took both the courses required   
   to get into university plus I took all the Technical courses as well,   
   things like automotive repair, metal working, carpentry and drafting..   
   In my final year, which was for university prep only, I took 3 maths,   
   2 sciences, history, english and (briefly) a health sciences course.   
      
   But after all that, plus SAT scores in the top 6%, I never did   
   apply to a university after I found out that most people who took   
   the course I wanted to take (aeronautical engineering) were mostly   
   all doing other jobs because so little in that field was available.   
      
   Maybe I'd have been one of the lucky ones but, by that point, I   
   was starting to be disillusioned with life in general.   
   Too many years of never missing school while still working close   
   to full time hours at the same time.  Burn out..
