If he dropped out of high school, how did he get into college?

He was over 21, and taking remedial classes at a junior college - that is fairly typical (no word on a GED)

anyone can get in to college.
The requirements are almost non-existent.
Legal, illegal, sane, crazy.
It’s all about filling the seats for money to pay the salaries of the “educators” and faculty.

He probably took the GED, because you also can't get into the military without a high school diploma or a GED.

I did it. I dropped out of high school at 16 and took my GED. I went directly to college, and received my diploma at 20. There were a lot of kids doing that when the GED first came out.

However, they closed that loophole now. You are no longer allowed to take the GED until your 18.
