Hi, my name's Joe Bernstein, and I'm a reporter on the Styles desk at the New York Times.
This week's Sunday read is a story I wrote for our magazine about a 48 year old man named Benjamin Bolger.
And what makes Benjamin special is that he is America's preeminent perpetual student.
That is, hes someone who collects college degrees.
Over the past 30 years, hes received over a dozen degrees.
Theyre from the worlds most prestigious Harvard, Stanford, and Yale, just to name a few.
I had the same reaction as many people when they hear about Benjamin for the first time.
Why?
What would possess someone to dedicate themselves to this kind of life?
So last summer I decided to go to Boston and ask Benjamin myself.
And talking to him is almost like talking to a walking freshman seminar.
We talked about union labor.
We talked about cryptocurrency.
We talked about the nature of bridges, international and Middle eastern diplomacy, even Joan of Arc.
