Is this UofA as in University of Arizona? As in Tucson, Arizona? Tucson is one of the most economically depressed regions in the nation, for a major city (see: https://www.azcentral.com/story/money/business/economy/2018/...).

I imagine this man just might be overqualified for an already poor job market, and is doing whatever he can in the mean time to make ends meet.

Side note, I did attend UofA for undergrad. Loved it, the school and the education were great. Unfortunately Tucson just isn't a good place to be if you're trying to have a real career. Unless its a medical career at Banner or some research career that aligns with the university's strengths, I recommend to a lot of UofA grads leave Tucson.

EDIT: If its not UofArizona that you're talking about, just ignore everything I said
