Does he not realize that his lot has been properly designated as a janitor for life? What does he know about using a degree in classics?

to serve as the Janitor for the school!

for demonstrating that he can think creatively. Or a launching ground for a literary career.

Or maybe ... Just, maybe ... He enjoys being a janitor and took the classes because he also enjoyed the course work.

I used my degree to work as a flight attendant - and loved it! I earned more waitressing during college than I did my first year flying, but again , I loved it

He'll start that whole "let them work as school janitors" thing all over again.

But usually its only a class or two, because after all they aren't likely to have the time to be full time students or work toward a degree.

What he did was very impressive.

And he was able to do it without student loan debt too. I bet a lot of the kids envy him for that.

He worked in the Exchange Student program and since he hadn't finished his undergraduate degree and so he was able to take the necessary courses to complete his B.A.

His degree was just as valid and respected as any other undergrad degree from Columbia. It was great.

A lot of fine colleges have this option for people who work for them. It is a great way for them to get quality staff to go to work for them!

where he takes a Harvard history graduate student to town.

He probably got a history Ph.D. and is currently adjunct teaching at a community college right now.

No massive debt. This was a true opportunity. The way we should treat every person in the country.

It was challenging to keep my chin up. College kids can be such slobs. I would do it again. I would like to talk to this guy and hear more of his experiences.

I have since moved on to earn a dual BA and I am currently in an MA program while washing dishes part-time at a restauraunt my wife and I own.
