By my reckoning I’m 10 years younger than PS, yet finished my Engineering degree time at University in 1985.

Perhaps he was a mature-aged student.
Everyone's journey is different. I completed my degree in 1992 because I thought I knew it all, and wandered of into the school of life. That school taught me that I certainly did not know it all. Back to school for me after three lost years thinking I knew better than everyone else. Such is the arrogance of callow youth. To this day, I regret those lost years spent in the idiotic delusion that I was smarter than everyone else.

Lesson learned the hard way, I guess.

Scroll forward a generation, and my eldest is just starting to learn that hard lesson.

Let him learn it the hard way. I need to step back and watch it happen. Painful as it is. I cannot teach him, he has to discover it all of his lonesome. Else the lesson is worthless.
