He began his undergraduate degree after transferring from the Army. Got a job working in a lab as he studied for his PhD which he recently completed. He also supplemented his income with the reality show and stripping. He's hardly a dropout if he is finished a PhD. He has also managed a media career alongside doing a PhD. Dude is smart.
