Kinda off topic but one of the smartest mechanical engineers I've ever had the pleasure to work with (and learn from) never received an engineering degree. He never held a title as an official engineer because he didn't have that diploma. He may be one in a million but I'd draft him on my team anytime, anywhere* and twice on Sundays for anything mechanical, designing, machining, robotics, etc.. He's a better engineer than those from MIT, Cal Tech or any big acclaimed engineering school that I've worked with.
* The anywhere part can't include plane travel. He doesn't like to fly.
