school (presumably because you had trouble

finding a decent job). Now a BS program

requires a 4 year course study at a minimum.

Frank was in the military (can earn you college credits) and it doesn't
take 4 years minimum to get a BS degree. It is often done in 3 or less.

For engineering? We're not talking about liberal arts here.

In fact, there are many who do it in less time. Many major universities
and schools have BS programs that take less than 4 years.

Name them. And also list what the student has to do in order to cram 4
years worth of work and study into "less than" 4 years.

A B.S. degree requires a certain amount of credits and certain
required courses. So either you have to take more classes in less
time, or you are somehow "getting around" certain required classes.
That starts to bring up Frank's earlier analogy of the "new" 2 year
Bachelor's degree, and how the "old" 4 year degree would be worth more
by virtue of more time spend in the classroom.
