Bachelorette 14 - Becca Kufrin - Episode 9 - July 23rd - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

General Studies are usually 101 Freshman classes, so what courses does one take to get that degree?  Also, Garrett was shaking his head when he waved to Becca as she left the tent - very strange, almost like someone with a tic. To point out these things is mean ordinarily but in light of everything else we know about him (sm likes and 2 month "marriage", the Dumb and Dumber video, his childish and unintelligent speech), I think it all adds up to a man waving multiple red flags.  JMO

It’s not like the dude sells beer.! One must have some solid technical knowledge in that line.
Blowing a kiss with a shake? Maybe the guy felt awkward. Maybe he’s not a blow a kiss type of guy. He sure did try for his girl though so props to him.
IMO bring me a normal guy from the street shakes and all.. makes for more authentic viewing as opposed to the Bach nation die hard fans that come in flawless in their ITM’s  that are all too aware of the camera and def not looking for love!

SFoster I’m just wearing myself out agreeing with you but, it’s so nice to have someone so eloquently state my views! 
My limited research shows General Studies degrees can be granted by some lesser known online colleges or junior colleges. Also interesting IMO is his claim to be a medical equipment salesman. As a former pharmaceutical sales rep, I know what is required by the job he claims to have/have had. Politely, I will draw the line at “unimaginable” unless he was selling rubber gloves or, specimen labels or, such.  IMO Garrett does not have the superior communication and analytical thinking skills to sell actual technical medical equipment of the type I initially thought based on his description of equipment vs. supplies. 
Becca may be too embarrassed to dump him right away but the longer she stays, the less I think of her because IMO he’s, he’s well...as you said, “a man waving multiple red flags”. JMO

There is a VAST gap in the education level and career path of these two men and it is pretty obvious in the way they conduct themselves, their self- awareness, known values and communication skills.  I do believe that Becca has chosen someone that is dumbing her down instead of lifting her up. The challenges she will have with him are to constantly find excuses and give him the approval he seeks no matter what juvenile thing he is doing. And he will be the loyal dog who goes and get the stick back. I think it’s pretty sad but out of our hands.
