Screwed around (and screwed up) at Lakeland Community College back in Ohio.
Joined the Navy and made it through Nuke School and ELT training (MM).
After 6 years got out and went back to Community College for a lot of science and math classes but never earned a degree of any kind. Also completed a few seminars for RSO training, Rad Waste shipping, etc...Passed NRRPT in 1991.
Latest gig was getting certified by Cambridge University as an Instructor for English as a foreign language, which is what I do over here when I'm not back in the U.S. working outages.

Can I change my answer??? ........... lol!

That's what I get for "NOT READING ALL THE RESPONSES BEFORE ANSWERING".

I selected "some college", but maybe the truest response would have been "More than 4 years of college"!

I guess I am a living example of the phrase - jack-of-all trades, master of none!

After 50 years, still trying to find something I'm good at!!

Walt,
per your request, you can now change your answer. I know how you feel about the jack of all trades thing. Yet I find my experiences tend to compliment each other....

B.S. Biology, Georgia College and State University (1977); started on MS degree and got side tracked into the business at Hatch in 1978. Passed NRRPT in 1985; attended CSTCC in the Radiologic Protection program and came screaming back to commercial nuke when I saw how screwed up nuclear medicine programs can be.

Translation:  I was able to get 97 hours compressed into four years at college.  I have taken courses here and there but mostly the fine technical knowledge I posess is out of article 108, and the excellent lessions taught in a power plant.

I hope the general public never gets wind of who really protects them from the hazards of ionizing radiation exposure from their local nuke plant!  If they ever do our jig is up!
