    Say Bruce lost all his money and resources. Could he get a good job? From what we know he left as a kid to travel the world studying from masters to one day become Batman. Now we can assume he had tutors but what about college? Unlike say Clark there have been no mention of him attending any such place. He may be able to do the work but we know that doesn't matter without a stupid piece of paper saying you have credentials.

    I thought Bruce attended numerous colleges...including Quantico
     
    I am pretty confident he could find employment

    @Dernman: Bruce Wayne has explicitly been said to have attended and completed FBI agent training, that requires college level education even before you think about applying. He'd do fine.

    I never heard of anything like that or him joining the marines or FBI training centers there. Not that it isn't true. I just never heard anything about that to confirm or deny.

    My memory of when it was mentionned is foggy but it was either in Hush or No Man's land if I remember correctly.

    @Crom-Cruach: At least tell me he was under a false identity when he went there. Wiped it from all records at least.

    @MasterDetective: He has people running it besides he is the owner he could just give himself a job. This just speculation on if he had lost everything. The point was made moot though because several people pointed out he did go to college.

    "Can Bruce Wayne get a good job?" Not with Obama as President.

    Since Batman's "the master of everything" and "knows everything about everything" I'm sure he could patent a few inventions and get rich again.

    @Catman9: This is actually a really good point. While Bruce may not be a self-made man, he is a self-made bat. How many times has he come up with some sort of crazy technology in apparently the span of five minutes?

    He may also be able to make a pretty penny on the stock market or gambling (e.g. betting on fights or sports). Bruce seems like he'd be very able to calculate odds and do research to make a sound bet/investment even if he doesn't have much money to start with.

    Isn't he supposed to be maintaining this clueless playboy image? Not many idiots go to Cambridge. Did he use a fake identity or something?

    @nickzambuto: Money can buy you a lot of things ^^

    But yeah, I guess he used an alias when attending the more prestigious institutions - in order to advance his studies.

    It's doubtful he used fake names to attend college. Why would he need to?

    He would became the ultimate action star and destroy the movie industry as we know it.

    I mean he can act, he can do his own stunts, he is good looking and he know how the cameras and angles work.

    Isnt a joke, he could make a movie as the only actor and direct the damn thing.
