Does he mean "if I already HAD a degree"? In this context, is "if I
already have" acceptable?

Yes, I know that Matthew can't even spell, let alone write in proper
English. But recently I learned that "the bank are pressing me for
repayment" is grammatical, so I don't feel confident in detecting
Americans' bad grammar anymore. :-)
