I've read that universities can choose to let alumni walk for graduation at a later date. Since you did the work you may be entitled to it. If you would feel its important to have that experience you should reach out to your school and see if they'd let you. I think if I were in your shoes, I'd do it in a second. Its a quintessential experience and public recognition of your efforts.

Thats great! Kind of like that movie where someone is wrongly diagnosed with a month to live so they do everythibg they wanted to and find out they actually weren't gonna die and their life greatly improved.
Obviously thats not real life but still an interesting thought. I often want to quit my boring job but it pays well and is pretty easy. Just wasting 45 hours a week seems like something I'll regret. But I like money.

Just do what every PhD dropped does - put "all but dissertation" as the very last bullet in your CV.
Ok so.. what exactly is the fuckup? Did you miss out on stuff because you thought you lacked qualifications?
