It even says he was a student. At 24, he didn't give life much of a chance.

I think there's far more to this story than we know, like his mental health status, social life, etc.

    Suicide is never a rational response to a lack of economic opportunity. The story here is that he was sick. The fact that he had trouble finding work maybe was the straw that broke the camel's back, but it seems misleading to imply direct causation between that and suicide.
