My understanding of the story was that he was not going to be able to pass the bar because of his plans to try and get out of his debt by ways other than paying it back, even though he assumed he would pass the bar? Might be wrong, it was a bit hard to dig through the outraged writing.

But he can do other things that will help him pay of his debt until he passes the bar and then work as a lawyer.

Just because you go for school for something doesn't mean your guaranteed a job doing just that. You go to school to learn something. Usually you use that knowledge to advance your career (or start one). However, it's unfair to demand that just because you went to school to become a lawyer (or doctor, or whatever) that people must hire you into that position.
