55 year old Homeless Man carries 2 Masters and a PhD.

Here mosques are closed to the "public" during the night. They become the playground for all kinds of mischievous planning and plotting shit lol

But really, I was more referring to the "institution" that is the mosque or church.

I'm not running a shelter. But regardless, I'd at the very least offer him a warm meal and something decent to wear. I'd try to help him to the best I can and try to find him a place to stay in. If the weather was just terrible and I couldn't arrange a place for him to spend the night I'd most probably take him in, only for the night though and I'd stay very vigilant throughout the night I admit.

OMFG GTFOFOFOFOFOFOFOF

Become a criminal. They make good money.

Anyway, an educated man has a better chance of adapting to the job market than someone who has nothing to prove on their resume. Job market is just saturated with degrees so it's best to pay attention what's happening.

Ig you don't mind me asking, how come you and GazaAli own a door together?

rofl you have no idea what its like to live under the burning sun throughout the year. Seeing how you live in Sweden, I'm not surprised by your outrage.

What does that even mean :P

Fixed, sadly.

I know during the first cold snap here in Chicago we had three homeless people die within the course of a week. Usually funding is so erratic that shelters have to prioritize saving money over keeping extra beds that won't be used for most of the year. Then when a cold snap happens they have more homeless people than beds. This is why I have such a problem with the conservative refrain of "oh, charities will handle it." Yeah, if charities didn't have to worry about donations petering out after the holiday season, if they had a consistent stream of income (like government programs do in the form of taxation), then maybe it would work.

ITT: No one watched the video.

This video isn't a testament to the deficiency of higher education, but to that of our healthcare system. The guy went broke taking care of his sick parents.

Yes, there's also housing, food, insurance, and/or assisted living costs (which are astronomical). None of which should be made harder by a shitty healthcare system.

Unemployment and earnings statistics would strongly disagree with this assertion. Sure, you don't need a college degree, but unless you plan on learning a trade (think electrician, plumber, ASE Mechanic, Steel worker, pipe fitter, HVAC tech, etc), which often requires schooling, a college education is your best path towards economic stability.

Have you ever been homeless? I have found that people who blame the impoverished for their conditions to generally be the most naive about these types of situations. You should go out to the streets of NYC and ask a homeless person why they are homeless. I can guarantee that you will be surprised.

There is a lot wrong with this statement. I will tell you this: having an educated society is never a bad thing. This man has skills- the problem is that people don't want to pay him for his contributions to society.

The fact that you decided to post about this here shows how unusual this is; which kind of defeats whatever point I assume you're trying to make.

There are intelligent people out there without degrees and dumb people out there with degrees, it's all relative, really. I'm sure he isn't the only person with multiple degrees to ever find himself homeless.

finished private college. I make more money in jobs society does not respect rather then in a field that makes people go wow. I think if nothing stable appears soon I'll just work at best buy or something.

....out of the foreclosed house he had been squatting in.

Nothing in that video indicated this man had made any contributions to society.

He went broke caring for his parents, then moved to a new city with no money in his pockets, assuming the company he had applied for a job with, would hire him.
Turns out, they hired someone else, and this supposedly smart man, didn't have any sort of back-up plan. He didn't have a change of clothes, he didn't have $$$ for a hotel, and he hadn't applied for a job elsewhere.

Seems his parents taught him that education is important, however it also seems he's never learned how to properly manage money.
It's no surprise he's homeless as a result.

I think that's pretty much a truism for any internet message board ever.

"Maurice is very well spoken, (he sounds like Obama)"

lol
