four years spent completing the magnus college global degree on a razor-thin scholarship , a course requiring attendance at each of the six magnus sister colleges : locke college in california , hadley college in london , kurtz college in nuremburg , king college in northern india , the alexandria institute in cairo and the peoples institute in moscow , and all he had to show for it was a piece of paper with his name on it , a laughable amount of fieldwork experience , and a job as teaching assistant .
