A friend of mine applied to ten Gulf companies before landing a facilities role in Doha. What finally worked was not another degree, just a clear CV that matched the job posting word for word.
I saw a headline today about companies dropping degree requirements, and honestly it's about time. I've worked with brilliant people who never finished college.

One thing I've learned about relationships: don't wait for the perfect moment to say what you appreciate. Say it now, even if it's small. People remember how you made them feel, not the timing.
Learned something small but useful today: most confusion clears up once you stop rushing the question. Sit with it a bit, and the answer usually shows up on its own.
