There are options for people willing to work for them. Lucky for him, he had no interest in flying.

Now, if he can just get me a job there...
Good luck to him. A Masters @ 22 yrs of age is quite impressive. But I don't think this is more an exception then the norm, especially if it requires a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering. This doesn't exactly sound like a entry level position.
