Oh please...only in America. He had a secure job at $22.00 an hour and substantial work-related tuition benefits, and health insurance benefits. In NYC alone, how many students are working full time demanding jobs that pay considerably less and are struggling to get through school without the benefit of tuition reduction. And this can only happen in America? That's insulting to the millions of people in considerably less affluent country's,including this gentleman's country of origin, who have worked fiercely hard to graduate. Kudos to this man for having graduated, but next time you push the "only in America" meme, do please choose someone who really struggled.
