I didn't know that Linus lacked certification in anything. Dude could get his computer repair certification in summer school. Hell that would be an interesting video, even for linus.
"Recently a lot of youtubers have been called on their qualifications. While I am a certified lifeguard, I am not a certified computer repair technician, so today, sponsored by some shitty vinyl decal company, Linus goes to school!"
Are there programming equivaliants to Regional occupation computer repair? Mutahar doesn't need a bachelors, he just needs a piece of paper that says "Dr. Brucellosis has observed the student, and while sloppy and without actual talent, the student was able to get a passing grade on the final exam."
That would make him a real actual engineer, even if he went to upstairs medical college.
With Remote learning he wouldn't even need to get off his ass!
Instead he's just forgiving himself. The LAZY option.
As to the homosexualty, I have no advice. Homosexuality is terminal.
