My favorite part was when he answered he has a high school diploma. He mentions he has five years in university but all you really need is a high school diploma.
As someone who spent five and a half years (first four for a BS mathematics degree and a year and half for BS computer science degree) as an undergraduate student, it makes me happy to hear professionals say that.
K-12 school is just as important as ever. I just wish we started second language instruction at lower grades. It could be Spanish, French, German, Mandarin... It'd be nice if we started much earlier.
