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??? ........... !

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.

[Brett LaVigne]

I was just lucky enough to finish high school but then a couple years later there was this shipyard in Newport News Virginia that wanted to pay me to go to this RADCON 108 training...what the hell is RADCON I said?!  You just read some meters and we will pay you they said...Ok, sign me up.

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.
