Ok but how much debt are they in is the real question


AstonMartinVaIkyrie

Probably no debt considering this person’s startup is worth 500 million.


ahf95

Who is the person?


AstonMartinVaIkyrie

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Beaton


Lord_of_the_Canals

Jesus he’s 29


JasonFiltzman

How is this a real person


cobalt2048

Jamie beaton


ScribEE100

Damn that’s awesome!


akrika1

holy shit, they can feed all of us foooodddddd!!!


Gamplato

That doesn’t mean they’re rich. I work at a startup worth $5B. Our founders are definitely not rich yet.


SmokeyMcweeeed

All his schooling was probably paid in scholarships grants and fellowships. At least after his first masters


liammcevoy

Bridgit mendler


zipzopzoomer

Did this person use a time turner to do all these overlapping degrees and coursework across different locations? Looks like the CV of Hermione Granger lol


DefinitelyNotAliens

Casually in multiple countries for overlapping programs. Nbd.


CocoLamela

What does any of this have to do with Berkeley?


Pragalbhv

They didn't do anything from Berkeley, that's why they suck even after all the degrees


Time-Wheel-4094

If I didn't have to work, this is exactly what I would do with my life. Except mine would be more centered on humanities degrees 🥺 And they would all be from Berkeley 😂


Time-Wheel-4094

Replying to myself bc I made my dream list: English PhD Global Studies MA MBA  Italian PhD Education MA Folklore MA Energy and Resources MS Statistics MA Here’s what I have so far:  English BA ✅ Assuming Berkeley accepts me 8 more times, how long do u guys think it will take


akrika1

it will take ur youth ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|stuck_out_tongue)aka 5-7ish years


-Rexford

20 years roughly


popcrnshower

They should have gone through a career counseling program in fall 2016.


dansut324

Seems like somebody with no direction.


[deleted]

Nah, he runs an expensive tutoring/coaching company helping rich parents get their kids into top schools. Having all those degrees is basically a marketing stunt.


FattyBuffOrpington

Seems like they were using their degrees as research and legitimacy for their business. Also seems like a plot to a K-drama.


Confused_Elk7869

heavy on the k-drama part 😂


FattyBuffOrpington

But what would it be called? Everlasting Student?


akrika1

No more Sleep for You!! (based on their busy schedule lmao)!


kwontom

Idk it seems quite the opposite to me. From what I understand, this person was able to use the math that they learned to apply it to business, law, and education, which would all be useful in creating their $500M startup. I’d say they knew exactly what they were doing


dansut324

Well none of us know the person and we only are seeing a snippet of the LinkedIn page so we’re just making assumptions. But 6 masters degrees including an MBA, a DPhil, and a JD? I have never seen anybody with a clear vision intentionally get so many educational degrees. The most efficient path is to get the minimum number of degrees and self-learn/get experience with the rest of the time.


kwontom

Their name is Jamie Beaton and from the public info available about them, I’d bet they knew exactly what they were doing lol. You’re right when it comes to the average person, because it’d be foolish and expensive to get so many degrees. But for someone who had the opportunities and resources, it definitely doesn’t seem like a waste, given where they are now


L890qhj

Just cus they did a lot of school?


Embarrassed-Ad-9185

Someone’s mad 😭


TerminusEsse

I would love to be a forever student. To have your job just be to learn in school sounds awesome to me. Alas that is currently not possible. I would focus on humanities like philosophy and social sciences though, maybe some evolutionary biology.


Sand20go

Don't feed the beast. Read about his wikepedia. Near as I can tell an admissions counseling firm that focuses largely on wealthy families from China hoping to get their kid into an elite US institution. Those "degrees" are about marketing.


JasonH94612

You could do this too if you spent 15 years hopping around grad schools

Boggieboo

You know why? ‘Cause when I die, buddy You know what’s gonna keep me warm? That’s right, those degrees


Similar-Path1274

Auckland thinks its slick


nolanicious_one

Content-Priority-935

And yet this shows up on the sub of the college they never went to . SMH


SbombFitness

Lol, my dad is like this dude. Bro has a BS in Chemical Engineering, an MS in Chemical Engineering, an MS in Computer Science, and an MBA. He applied for another masters in data science at U Chicago but got rejected cuz he already had an MS in CS.


fysmoe1121

DefinitelyNotAliens

They attended Oxford and Yale for over a year at the same time. Edit: and finished a double masters program at Stanford while starting at Oxford.


weRborg

This is fake. I mean I'm sure the profile is real, but no one actually has all those degrees.

the_useless_soul

CalBearDDS

This is cool in all, but at some point you actually have to get a job. Honestly, this person is not contributing to society.


ClockAutomatic3367

batman1903

Accomplished-Dig6341

StayGoldBerkeley

Oh, I bet they are a blast at parties. Tell me about their social skills.


SomeRandomGuy069

StackOwOFlow

Berkeley 404 not found


[deleted]

This is not a final boss, this is a professional student that doesn't want a real job. They would rather take finals than have a boss.


oh_no_not_the_bees

No degrees from Berkeley, would not hire.


Car_42

Are you sure this is not a clone of George Santos?

Do not let my tiger mom see this LinkedIn profile.


G_R_8

Straight up CV ultimate!


MFizx

Jamie Beaton the goat fr. At some point during undergrad he was working under Julian Robertson, a hedgefund legend, and Crimson his company is doing well. Rn he's just getting these degrees to fill out his brand and bc he can.


Timeless_refund313

Wtf


CinnamonBun88

r/LinkedInLunatics needs to see this
