A perfect example of bad decision making ending up in student loans
-
This guy was old enough to know better. An AS in physics and a bachelor in Poli-Sci? What does that qualify you for? For a guy with a customer service background?

"I worked my way up in a few companies, but I always hit a roadblock in promotions because I didn't have a college education,"
Cool story. Obviously false, and even if true, it means he can do what he did last time, now armed with a degree. What’s the hold up?

This seems kind of weird.
...he said he applied to be a cashier at two liquor stores with employee recommendations — but couldn't get an interview.

@Mik Ah okay. Makes sense.

Why would you do physics degree followed by political science?
He's actually on LinkedIn, so the story is at least partly real.
The article also says he's autistic, so sad-to-say working in customer service or public relations might not be the most obvious choice.

where he is on the spectrum could tell you a lot about his prospects.
The real question isn't why he did what he did, but why did the "Senior Reporter" from Business Insider choose him as a typical case study.
I was only joking
