Safety Degree?

I used to be an Assistant Safety Director of an oilfield trucking company. I don't have a formal degree in safety. I do have a lifetime of experience though. Every instance listed is a lesson I've learned in safety.
I had a firecracker blow up in my hand
I was shot in the leg
I was a Navy drug/alcohol/suicide counselor
I was a certified Marine Firefighter
I witnessed a rollover accident where the lady involved didn't have her child restrained and spent half an hour holding the boy's head together until they could fly him to the hospital.
I helped remove a man with a broken neck from a wrecked car.
I observed a man in a car driving over a man on a motorcycle, administered CPR with 2 other people until the ambulance arrived. He lived a week.
I talked a suicidal man with a shotgun out of shooting me and himself
I talked a deranged woman out of killing her family with a double-bit axe
I restrained a man from killing his wife, son and himself when he found out he had AIDS.
I have removed more drunk drivers from the roads than I care to think about, thereby reducing their chances of having an accident and hurting someone else and/or themselves.
I have driven an 18-wheeler more than 1 million miles without having an accident.
I survived a motorcycle wreck that crushed my entire midsection and separated all of the bones in my body.
I subdued a deranged man who was intent on killing me with a knife.
I was shot in my shoulder once.
I single-handedly put down a 24-man riot in a jail.
I have had facial reconstruction from being hit across the nose with a half-full beer bottle, I subsequently chased the man who did it down and put him in jail for 30 yrs.
I have had survivors guilt.
I have seen my wife almost die due to medical malpractice.
I have seen her die during childbirth 4 years later.
I have seen a gas well blow up on more than one occasion.
I survived a rollover accident in which my left side and my head were severely injured and from which I still suffer nerve damage.
I investigated the scene where a big truck from my company was rear-ended by a speeding automobile.
I know the Federal Motor-Carriers Safety Regulations backwards and have taught and tested drivers on same for years.
I wrote an excel program to audit driver logs as well as break down time spent on specific jobs.
I have sent drivers home when they are fatigued or over hours even when it was against company wishes.
I have had to notify next-of-kin when people have died due to neglect or accident.
I trained as a Fire-Safety Inspector
I trained as a Fire-Cause Determination Specialist and Arson Investigator
I have been a Fire Marshal, Building Inspector and City Safety Officer
I won't add more, although there are many other instances where I learned a lesson about safety
I wonder how life experience doesn't add up to a 4 year degree with no experience?
