I may have missed it, but why can a person with poor credit not be hired easily? It seems that such a person would be a reliable employee since he really needs the money.

It doesn't really say what Jason was doing in the time between ages 21 and 35. Was he employed? Was he being treated for depression? He certainly couldn't have been working on his masters degree for 14 years. A note for student graduates: if you send out dozens of resumes without a single bite, you need to repackage yourself and possible be willing to look at other jobs and locations.

Also, I noticed from the article that two pharmaceutical companies were interested in him at the time of his death. It is so important to follow up on applications and resumes persistantly with phone calls, each and every one. And sometimes multiple times.
