I believe NP came to the US when he was 13 or 14 years old. That would have been around 1977. I don't recall him saying WHEN he started working with his family's business and there probably was overlap with his time finishing high school and college.
Considering that schools and family businesses don't usually make students/employees sign exclusivity agreements, it's entirely plausible and most likely realistic, to understand that he could do both at the same time. Many immigrant families rely upon family members to participate in family businesses. Reasons being:
- As an employer to a family member you don't have to deduct/pay SSA $$,
- You share a common goal which is success for the family,
- It's emotional family bonding time,
- Child labor laws don't apply,
- You share a common language and culture,
- Parental employers can get away with corporal punishment of their child employees when they screw up (trust me...personal experience here),
Short answer is that NP most likely went to school during the day and worked at his family's business during the evening hours and weekends when he wasn't working on homework or studying....which his employer probably let him do during his break times.
A most likely explanation that most people can understand.
But if anyone is interested and REALLY needs to know the honest answers to his employment/education history, he'll be on the CytoDyn shareholders meeting 7/22 @ 9:30a PDT and the question can be posed to him to consider answering.
