    To be fair, "in the medical field" is a very broad net you're throwing. Being a nurse's aid with a GED is "in the medical field". But veterinary school (not veterinarian school) is indeed in the medical field-just different species.

    10 years of college for me to get 3 degrees. The final 6 years though I was paid a stipend and tuition cost me $0.

    So he had redshirt year and 2 medical exemptions for injuries. I dunno, seems weird someone could be eligible for 9 years. Several 30 year old player's in college through the years.

    You win, lol! I worked several jobs and mostly over 40/week during the majority of those years, but was single all that time.

    With NIL playing college football can be very lucrative, why not stay and milk it if you know the next level is not in your future.

    My daughter got an undergrad degree, a masters degree, and will have a law school degree in 7 years. Is he getting a post graduate degree?

    Most Mormons do a 2 year sabatical before college, so you see a few Samoan kids as freshman and 20-21 years of age.

    Have a cousin who seemed to want to do nothing but go to school.
    Finally he termed out with a doctorate, had a jacket custom embroidered and business cards that said Doctor (insert last name).

    He currently works at Arby's (no joke)

    If he was really smart he would of studied to be a medical doctor instead of getting a doctorate in psychology unless there is a psychology factory nearby.
