if the author has a degree as claimed, then the author is eligible for a number of better jobs, even part time ones, and doesn't have to work to flip burgers. Substitute teaching pays better, usually, and is easier to do; also gives you professional contacts. Getting a credential on top of your bachelor's is within reach for most people; some districts so desperate for teachers they'll hire you anyway, provisionally. With a bachelor's you can also teach SAT prep and tutor, all of which pay better than fast food. And the guy can write obviously. I come from a poor neighborhood. I get it. Most of childhood friends are in jail or are dead. But I have a hard time believing someone with a bachelor's has to scratch it with the rest of them with multiple part time jobs, not in this economy for sure.
