As melling's comment posted before this comment points out, he didn't even make a sound business decision. (Yes, in law there is a concept of "efficient breach" of contracts, but that efficiency was not achieved here.) I don't think today's college-age youth should be following the example of a person who evidently remained innumerate (and not civic-minded) after an expensive higher education.
