Sounds logical to me. After all a sheepskin proves your knowledge,
right?

So, you and FlaJim the Moron know as much "history" as someone with a
B.A. in it, eh? Doubtful. And of course you know as much about the
design and manufacture of electric motors as, say, degreed mechanical or
electrical engineers, eh? Doubtful. And FlaJim knows as much about
chipping paint on a navy vessel as, oh, a guy who chips paint on a navy
vessel...


Harry, you have a erroneous idea of what a degree represents.

I am certain that Tim knows far more about the design and manufacture of
electric motors than I do. I studied and know the basics but never had
reason to open a book about them in my career. A BA in anything
doesn't make you an expert or even qualified in a subject. It's a
global starting point for some. Others can (and do) achieve knowledge
and expertise in areas in which they work or study ... without a degree.
This is not intended to be "anti-academic" as you often like to accuse
others of being. It's simply a fact. Do you think you could have had
a successful career without your college degrees?


I wouldn't have been hired by a major U.S. newspaper unless I was well
along in my B.A. degree, and I wouldn't have been recruited by The
Associated Press unless I had been working for a paper and had a degree.
I was hired by the paper at a journalism honorary society dinner because
I was being inducted into the society, even though I wasn't a journalism
school major, but merely a regular contributor to the college newspaper
and a stringer for another newspaper. I learned how to write in high
school, but I learned how to write for a newspaper at the Kansas City
Star. I learned reportorial techniques in the few j-school courses I
took after completing the requirements for my English major.


Your answer only demonstrates how narrow your thinking is and your
assumption that your degree was the only means of getting a job. It's
not a surprise that you put so much emphasis on the value of a degree.
It is apparently your life's major achievement.
I worked hard and long to get enough credits for a degree in
electronics. Realistically, in my case it was basically a waste of time
and money. My degree didn't open any doors ... I was already well on my
way in a career choice ... and the knowledge gained had very little to
do with the technology I participated in. I learned far more about it
*doing* it.

His answer also demonstrates his outstanding ability to pat himself on the back.

You are guessing that any of it is actually true. One has to wonder how someone who tells tales of being in such famous company and doing such grandiose things can end up such a failure living in a basement?

A lack of integrity never kept Krause from praising himself!

There are huge gaps in his life story that he chooses to ignore. It
would be interesting to hear the version that his ex wife would tell.

Both his Ex Wife and Daughter have restraining orders against him.
