How would Shawn hurt the guy in his wallet if the guy is probably not into the fraudulent setup with any money? Take it to court and waste both money and time to hit him in the wallet?

1. Then the kid should have thought more about his actions. By the time someone hits college, they should know better. If not, they were probably taking the short bus to school and still shouldn't have been screwing someone out of money.
2. Don't give me the BS line about how if you don't go to school, you can't get a decent paying job. My family came from nothing, literally. 5 of us lived in a 20 foot travel trailer for 6 months eating ramen noodles and spaghetti. My dad doesn't have a degree. He dropped out of college after a semester. He worked his ass off and is now the VP of an aerospace company...all without a degree. Just because someone doesn't go to school doesn't mean that they have no opportunity. There is opportunity everywhere, it just takes some work (I know - sucks to have to work at something, huh? ) to make it happen.
