Markus listened as Kai talked, taking a moment to eat some of his food. It was good, but that didn't surprise Markus. The reviews had been accurate, and most hole-in-the-wall locations like this were gems within a city such as Easthaven.
Nodding, Markus didn't feel the need to push the need for a degree. Plenty of people did perfectly fine with them. The main use of it was time, letting Kai discover, plan, and consider what his future would hold, even though some people don't even get that far by the time they graduate college.
“Well, if you ever want to go that route, let me know; I might can help,” Markus said with a smile. One of his LLCs offered scholarship opportunities to prospective students. While they were usually offered to STEM fields, Markus knew he could sway it a bit. It was dual purpose. It allowed him to keep an eye on possible talent and competition while providing pretty good tax benefits. Some of his best friends had been met through the program. “It would mean you would have to apply, get accepted, and get a student Visa unless you already have citizenship. But that isn't too hard.” Markus mentioned.
“Speaking of which, and please, don't answer if its too much. It really isn't any of my business.” Markus realized some of Kai's story didn't add up. If he were on travel, the amount of time he has been in the USA would start to draw concerns without a VISA, and if he didn't have a steady job, odds were he didn't have a Work Visa. Perhaps he was married or had dual citizenship. Though looking at the man, Markus couldn't believe that was the possibility. “Are you legally able to work in the United States? Through either Citizenship, Visa, or travel?”
Markus knew it was a tough question, and he didn't want to grill the guy. But if he were going to help in some of the ways he was thinking, it would be important for him to know. Markus had no intention of reporting the man either way, but he also had to know what he was getting into.
