Precisely. And the thing is, he’s always told my brothers he regretted not getting one. My closest brother in age and I each have one and are doing post graduate work and our kid brother recently started college. I think he sees that my mom and her brother were among the first in their families to get degrees and he sees how hard she’s worked. It doesn’t threaten him.

regret is one thing, whinging about how one never got a degree after decades of blaming other people is completely different.
