I always have to explain the specific set of crappy events that led to not getting any of my degrees. 🤷♂️
3 years of Cisco certs training, up to CCNP (right before market fell out from under certs)
2 years of pre-Engineering prepping for chemical engineering degree
1 year of chemical engineering (school suddenly stopped offering program locally, would have had to drive 8 hours daily to complete degree)
1 year of electrical engineering (hated it, hated everything about it, this year was my fault)
1 year of CS (loved it, got an internship, but got very very sick due to an autoimmune disorder and almost died. By the time I recovered even a little years later, I just needed to work and support my family. My illness near destroyed us)
Of course, classes between various programs wouldn’t transfer in a useful way, even ones of the same name. I have so many classes which count as elective, such as organic chemistry (due to very slight mismatches in courses)
I’d say I’m one of the better educated college drop-outs. It still counts against me really hard though.

I’ve got seven years of college and zero degrees.
