Living Legend Gets Paid $40K Annually To Attend University, Earns Five Degrees After Being a Student For 20 Years

If you could have any life without restrictions, what would that life look like? Some of you might want to be rich and famous or to travel the world without having to spend a dime. For me, I would love to be one of those people who spend all of their time reading and learning. If I could go to college forever and never have to do anything but learn new things, I would absolutely do that. I could finally finish the Linguistics degree that I couldn't finish and take classes that I didn't have time for when I was getting my incredibly practical English Literature degree. 

One incredibly intelligent man has found a way to have that sort of life and get paid for it. An Aboriginal 40-year-old has spent the past 20 years winning the same bursary every year and earning more undergraduate degrees than anyone ever thought possible.
