Yes, but is he a victim of the university / aspiration thing or just that he

is now 50 and victim of ageism?

 and he got insecure.  His first marriage broke up so he decided to sell up

 his house leave his job and go to university.  He did great.  Then he did

 an MA.  He did great.  Then he started his PhD on the influence of Eastern

 European governments on the national musics.  He ran out of steam.  So he

 invested the remainder of his savings in doing an expensive professional

 counselling course and set up his own  counselling business.  His wife

 chucked him out, and he lives in a beat up flat now eeking out a meagre

 living by doing telemarketing for a local agency.  At the age of 50.  I

 don't blame going to university for this impact on him but clearly

 university isn't the panacea.  Watch out for that itch!  It can be as

 destructive as mind blowing.
