> Actually, I think he's screwed. As a 29-year-old with no work experience... Screwed? Nonsense. At 29 years old, I had zero work experience, other than a few research assistant jobs in my 10-year slacker bachelor's degree (which did not result in positive references). Oh, and 4 months at a Subway. The only thing even vaguely positive about my economic history was that I did do a degree in computing science... but I had deliberately made it as useless as possible, because I was an idiot. 6 years later, I work at the best company in the world (I believe you're familiar with the place, mchurch).
