I think that (rejected from KFC) is a variation of the "humble brag". A way of attempting to relate to people that are not billionaires as if to say "hey keep plugging away you could be me one day!". The fact is we don't know if the story is true first or why the KFC manager rejected him. Perhaps the KFC manager spotted that a guy like Jack was not simple enough or was to motivated or intense to stay for more than a week at that job. Not unusual for any company anywhere to reject people they feel are overqualified for a particular job for any number of reasons. Just because you tell Apple or Google you would be happy to start sweeping floors with your masters degree in computer science doesn't mean they are going to offer you a job doing that even if you would do a damn good job cleaning those floors.
