Dude went to an Ivy League school, that's crazy. But that doesn't mean much when your degree and training is not in high demand anymore.

Biggest problem is the economy grew too fast.

In a film studies class I saw a documentary where this dude was homeless, yet had +$250 000 in the bank. Had a wife and two kids, was a damn near genius but mentally unstable. The guy would blow away your mind with his views on the world one second, and the next would curse you out. They lost track of him as at the end as you could see him go more and more off the deep end.

He couldn't get a job teaching at a jr college or anything!? He's clearly smart, but there's no way you can't get ANYTHING with a damn phd and masters degrees....there's more to this story.

You really don't understand how bad it is out here. He is NOT unique.​

Oh do go on...

I really do find it hard to believe someone with all those degrees, can't find ANY kind of job for an extended period of time. I've known people to find jobs in the height of this recession, ~2008-9, and they damn sure didn't have any phd or masters.

Anything is better than nothing, to be sure, but can you picture that dude selling you a Big Mac?​

That was almost 10 years ago so I have no idea. It was a Canadian documentary based in Montreal, teacher said the female director worked on it for 10 years and it had a small release. Might have been a school project and she just kept on following these people.

These girls in class were all sobbing at the end, probably a few guys too. One of the rawest docs I've seen. I'll look in my notes if I still have them.
