every student applying for loans should have to write an essay on this guys experience before they get a dime.
i didn't take it to the same extreme but I lived pretty frugal and graduated with zero debt.

Two critical elements to his story:
Frugality and effective use of spare time.

This guy is one in ten million, imagine anyone thinking that they were responsible for paying back their student loans. What I do not understand about students loans is that the money does not necessarily have to be spent on anything remotely associated with education. When my ex son in law got his first student loan way back when he bought a 20" stunt bike and an electric guitar.

I like this young man, perhaps we will see him sitting with Moochelle at the next State of the Union address recognized by the POTUS as a shining example for all college students to emulate. Yeah right.

Only thing wrong with his life choices were an English and History undergraduate degree, and a Masters in a liberal arts program.

Not quite as bad as a "gender studies" degree, but none of them are screaming "hire me".
