I guess it depends on the University and the department. He may have had something that they thought trumped a degree at the time.

well ill clearly be showing my (lack of) age by telling you i wasnt really old enough to remember RW1 (actually, the earliest i remember is Boston, or was it Miami, or Seattle?). but the seasons i've seen, i believe that the producers set the cast up with a job at some company or organization (wasnt Las Vegas the one where the cast ran the club/bar? and Hawaii did something with a radio station, or something communications-based?)

oh, here's what Wiki says:

Initially, the show would document the housemates as they struggled to find and maintain jobs and careers, with minimal group activities aside from their day-to-day lives in the house and their socializing in the city. The only group activity engineered by the producers during the first season was a trip for the three females to Jamaica. By the second season, sending the entire cast on a vacation would become the norm, and the second season cast was also sent on a day trip to Joshua Tree, California. By the fifth season, the cast would be given an ongoing, season-long activity, with the Miami cast given startup money and a business advisor to begin their own business. This aspect of the show remained in subsequent seasons, and would be obligatory, with casts assigned to work at after-school daycare program, a radio station, public access television station, etc.
so the show started out real, but then I guess "real" didnt pull in numbers, so they created all this other BS to come off as "real."

all this talk about being real, "real," and REAL wears me out. LOL.
