I graduated in 1997 with BS in electrical engineering and a second BS in computer engineering, of course this was after dropping out for several years to be an auto mechanic. A couple of years ago I was so bored at work I started back to school part time and got my employer to pay for it. This December I will have my masters in EE and then will be continuing for my PhD, well as long as wife approves.
Of course with all that education it is still a huge learning curve to use Linux. It is not that it is complicated it is rather that Linux has lots of capabilities.

Mine does, and for that matter, would probably offer you a Ph.D. in just about any program they run if you were willing to pay for it. I serious considered getting my Ph.D. until I realized that I would be paying back student loans well into my retirement, and would never offset the costs in salary in the few years I have left before I retire. Funny story: My youngest son, who was about 13 at the time I was giving this serious consideration, said, "If you get your Ph.D., will we have to call you Doctor?" "You're damned right you will! After I invest that kind of time and effort into something I'll insist on it!" Heh.
