Exactly my thoughts. He comes across as the ideal candidate for further study. No doubt, if he's as capable as he makes out, he'd be able to get a PhD scholarship, and spend all day doing what he wants do to. Granted, there is still a lot of "politicking" in grad school, but you can avoid most of it. re: commuting. I spent 10 years commuting 1 hour each way (2 hour daily commute) to and from first high school, then university. The biggest quality of life improvement I've ever experienced was moving closer to wherever I had to be day-in-day-out. Every single relocation decision has been chosen explicitly to lower my commute time.
