Question about 2nd and 3rd condisional sentenses
Is it correct?
Neil isn't happy with his life. If he had listened to his mother's advice, he would have stayed at school and gone on to university. He could find a good job if he had got a degree. Neil hates the job he is doing now. He thinks he would go crazy if he stayed there much longer.

Question

Answer

I suspect it is fine. (conditional :) )
I assume your use of "got" is American.
I'd be more inclined to use ".. if he had a degree ..."
.
The last sentence seems a little strained to be a conditional, but that is your point, rather than a more obvious future.
He thinks he will go crazy if he stays there much longer

Answer

Hi Pavel, nice job!

I would only change the following sentences " He could HAVE FOUND a good job if he had GOTTEN a degree."  It refers to the alternative result if Neil had listened to his mother.

and

"He thinks he WILL go crazy if he STAYS there much longer."  The previous sentence states that Neil hates his current job, therefore this sentence should descibe what Neil feels is the future result of staying at that job.
