Hi,
If you had practiced a lot, you would have had a degree now. (It's a third conditional sentence)

I'm not a teacher nor a native English speaker.

The sentence sounds strange - one doesn't normally practise for a degree. These are more natural.

If you had studied more, you would have your degree now.
If you had studied more, you would have got your degree by now.

one doesn't normally practise for a degree.

Maybe as a craftsman he practises a lot to have a degree in craft. I mean by doing some physical works, designing things all day long to make a thing.

[5jj]

You don't have a degree in a craft.

[sb70012]

You don't have a degree in a craft.

I myself don't have but why it is incorrect to say a degree in a craft?
In art schools many students go there to study and practice to have a degree in it.

Like this example: Applicants must have a degree in Engineering.

Isn't it?

[5jj]

OK, it is possible these days to get a craft degree.

I wouldn't call a degree in Engineering a craft degree, though.

Thanks a lot.
Your help is very important for me.
