Wow, serious case of "right place at the right time" going on there, and even though you won't be getting a degree/certification in the field, an apprenticeship to one of the best in the area should be even more respected (imho)

Isn't it cool when things like that work out. It's like hitting the sweet spot on a ball

Sounds like a great deal. I still encourage you to go ahead and get the formal education in the future. Sometimes people want to see that piece of paper.

That is really cool!!! Congrats!

<fatherly advice on> I agree with Davedove -- you should get the piece of paper at some point. </ fatherly advice off>

That said, this gives you a very valuable base of experience to draw from, as well as building a financial base. Of course, a KEY reason for the financial base it to finance your kilt addiction!!!

Besides, there's always the chance that if you do a really good job, the boss will help with the school expenses!
