I do not know what Neil is presently doing for a job.
However the bits that have been brought up in part do fit into his job history.
Neil did temp teach the spring/ summer prior to Neil touring with Adam.
He could not find a job so went to New York and worked as a temp teacher. He applied to teach in Japan but was sadly not offered a position. He was quite taken aback that he did not get the position as he had been really forward to being in Asia and having a unique job opportunity/exploring that part of the world. The job in NY was not what he wanted, but it was a job. He found it hard initially, but grew to like it. He had his Poli Sci degree, not education. My sister- in - law's brother teaches math and physics in St George, Utah. His lost his lucrative South Carolina job due to a take over, and was desperate for a job. He loves the job but has no education degree. At the time my sister in law said that in the US some states will hire without a teaching degree if no other applicants are suitable. Neil must have been in the same situation re the New York temp position. It would have been like him teaching English in Japan...no education degree was/is necessary.
After touring with Adam...I do not know what he did for work but it became apparent as time cruised on that Neil was working with a company that evaluated computer games. Their evaluations and comments were on youtubes, and the ones I viewed were quite entertaining. Then he decided to take a computer course of some type -- more like programming. So that is accurate. The course was offered ...I think in San Francisco, and he was out of town --away from Elisse for several months. It was a very intensive course and he commented on well he did on their final group presentation.
If I remember correctly (and not at all sure I do), after touring with Adam, Neil did some sort of journalism thing in Vietnam or somewhere in that part of the world.
