By nepotism in a small company, sure. In any other case, no; there is no shortage of gifted engineers with papers to prove it willing to work as managers in companies that require technical expertise.

Do any tradesmen here ever decide to self-study relevant engineering to their trade and go into a hyper specialized position and make a shitton, all while laughing at the uni fags who got C averages in their engineering degrees, can't get a job, and pay student loans out the ass?

Depends on who you're working for. The highest payed tradies make more than the average engineer. But the average engineer makes more than the average tradie. I'm in the trades and make a decent wage with OT, but I'm still going to school to be an EE. Less about the money though, I just want to know more.

Definitely going to make it bro, that's the proper attitude to have. More recent HS grads should consider working for a year or two before going to university in order develop a good work ethic.
