Great concluding comment on your prophetic powers. I know several engineers without degrees; they have risen up from the shop because they have the smarts and superior skills. In pastoral ministry, many historic 'mainline-ish' church bodies have embraced the pastors-in-formation model, in which the candidate begins serving and taking online coursework (St. Paul Lutheran Seminary where I work as an adjunct serves the church by preparing pastors with this model). Many professions have adopted specific knowledge and skills criteria and allow access via testing. And as I mentioned before there is a small number of colleges and universities that have not bent the knee to Ba'al.
