Reminds me of a joke I heard many, many years ago.
Ole moved from his home in Norway to find a new life in America. He ended up in Anchorage Alaska and got a job as a janitor at the local Lutheran Church. At his year end review the council asked him where he graduated from school. Ole replied "I almost finished 8th grade, but didn't quite make it through". The council gasped and decided that the job required someone who had more education and they let Ole go.
Ole was a fisherman in Norway so he got a job with an Anchorage fishing boat and ended up buying it out. He expanded his boats and crew and soon had the largest outfit in Anchorage. He had so much money he had to go to different banks to spread it around. When he was opening an account with a large bank in Anchorage the bank president met him and commented on his business success. The banker asked Ole where he went to college? Ole told him he never finished High School. The surprised banker said to Ole "Ole, Just think where you'd be today if you had finished High School and went to College !"
Ole replied in his best English "I know where I'd be...I'd be the yanitor at the Luderan Church in Anchorage".
