My Schools and My Dilemma - Ellis C Parry-Nweye

So I have 4 Degrees from my Sponsor - Total E&P in two Countries , 

Mechanical Engineering:
Master in Safety and Security Matters


1.  
Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering
2.  
Master in Mechanical Engineering

3.  

Mechanical Engineering:
Technical Certification in Energy Management
4.  


My question or dilemma is What is the use of each of them, i mean i have multiple certifications. These ones just stand out to me because theyre professional and started from my first job at Total E&P, so the thing is my first degree was a "Masters degree" aquired while i was working, im sure because my first project "Africankomkom" just like "Amerillis" was International first of its kind. 

lol so i had a "Masters degree" before i had a "Bachelors degree", ironic isnt it. Just like the " Technical Certification" 
I kept wondering what they are until i ended up in the US Army as a Technical Engineer and came back to New York to still use my hands to reenact a design i planned to execute on the first day i entered New York in 2018. 

Only to ask my self whats the use of each degree or paper if i still gotta use my hands to do my job, why dont i have a robot im controlling.

If I print it out, its just paper. 
" Why isn't each a robot I'm controlling , Why isn't each a bank paying me ? " 

The closest thing to controlling a robot is the 

"Technical Certification in Energy Management - N4TC" its like controlling air conditioners for New York Public Buildings with a PlayStation controller and programming it to think for itself with a laptop. Very cool.

The rest are Knowledge based or handy

I'm now like a crazy professor that wonders what the use of each experience or certificate is. If they can't just be paying me automatically. 

Just like how "Knowledge" might come of as " Kn 🦉 edge "
Kn = knife
Owl = 🦉 
Edge = Edge of a building top or Edge of a knife
