CBS San Francisco

Many of us dream big about life, jobs and travel. Robert Green is living those dreams and more.

In 2019 Green was a senior at Mt Eden High School, acing his coursework and getting ready for college in Minnesota, where he hoped to get a PhD and eventually become a professor. What a difference three years can make in someone's life.

Flash forward and Green's back home in Oakland for the summer, getting ready to start his junior year at Pitzer College in Southern California. He's also started a new career after being recruited for a job.
