After hours, he worked at the student store and also was a dorm supervisor so he had free room and board. Not only did he support himself the entire four years, he also paid off his entire college education before he graduated.

Why should he have to work like that to get a good job, and generate money for the country? Would it not be better for the country to pay for it, assuming he passes exams and the degrees are "sciences", and when he gets a job to repay some in a form of higher taxes?
I wonder with all that work how much his education suffered.
