People *can* change. They just can't usually do it by force of will. If you want to be a very different person, you'll probably have to put yourself in a very different environment under very different incentives/constraints & you'll probably have to burn your ships behind you.
Aside from my high school diploma, I didn't & don't have any other degrees/certifications. Everything I've done to earn a living has rested on self-taught skills & my ability to network. This is high risk & stressful; it's the nuclear option — but for me, a good call.

Glad it worked out for you when you took such a drastic leap so close to the finish line. I don't think I'm made of the same stuff. I'll probably push through to my degree and then be one of those graduates who open up a gardening shop or something after their years of training.

A degree in anything is certainly worth something. Critical thing, IMO, is to not fall into a trap in which you spend your life doing something joyless because you accidentally navigated into the position where it's the easiest/most viable option. You *always* have a choice
