My brother's son is the biggest failure I know Dropped out of University of Würzburg to work on "a startup" Built some AI software, 90 employees now "He is moving to Silicon Valley" my brother said I chuckled Without degree? Without qualifications? So delusional In comparison, my son Rüdiger is only 31 and doing his second postgraduate studies Soon he will start a 6-month praktikum at Siemens, possibly with a path to a junior analyst role "I feel sorry for your boy, no employer will ever take him seriously" I told my brother You just can't be successful without a degree
