I thought you went to school to earn a degree to make a living. I think they should call him out and make him pay for all of that college, before he can continue his education. What say you?
I wonder about WOAI's sources, I find this hard to believe because even to get student loans they do a credit check on you. If his debt was that great, he wouldn't qualify.

Plus, even with transfer credits, it takes time to get a degree. I wonder how many of these "degrees" are from non-accredited diploma-mills??

I tried to find the report on WOAI's web site, but a search on the past week didn't find anything...

"(...) around 20 PHDs, about 40 Master Degrees and about 60 Bachelor degrees. He brags that he is going to continue to get more degrees"

How long it takes to accumulate so many degrees. Did someone figured it out?? Maybe by now he is so old and senile , that he do not remember the exact number anymore??

I figure he was of those professional students that was going on mom and dad's nickel back in the 60's and just didn't know how to stop. He loves hanging in the student center, freeking out all the 20 somethings with his liberal nonsense. He's scared to death of the real world and couldn't survive a job for 5 minutes. Now he is trapped in the educational cultural prison. He would have to be in his 60's or 70's.

Wow, that's a lot of degrees! Too bad lots of employers hire based on experience these days.
