I have delivered many crucial hydraulic repairs and retrofits on seagoing vessels and ships for IOC’s and maritime companies solely with technicians and teams who never went to college.
I respect these guys a lot. On 1 occasion when an accessory for a project was not available in country & lead time for delivery from OEM was going to affect project costs significantly technicians who never went to HS fabricated a sample locally to match OEM spec. On approval, we produced it in bulk to meet deadline.
This was my childhood before video games Became a thing.
