He graduated high school, joined the Marines for 4 years. Came back and with the GI bill, did college for 2.5 years, then went to law school for 4 years. He came out, clerked for a year, went to a law firm and practiced law for less than 2 years. Then he jumped ship to follow Thiel as a venture capitalist apprentice. But he worked for or started 4 firms in 5 years, never staying longer than a year or two at any venture. The only venture he backed for the entire 5 years, AppHarvest went backrupt just after he bailed and jumped ship. He was a critical part of the what made the company go bankrupt. Then he was picked by Trump to run for the Senate and less than 2 years into that gig, he's now running for VP.
He has only stayed long enough at any given gig to know that he isn't very good at it. And then he jumps ship before anyone else finds out he is no good at what he does. He's like a version of the guy from Catch Me If You Can, Frank, Abagnale.
My guess for why he's done the 180 about-face on Trump and been consumed by die-hard conservative views is that he knows that Trump is going senile and he wants to be the one to inherit the MAGA Conspiracy Cartel. He's trying to sell himself as the heir apparent to the Q-Anons, MAGA, Neo Nazis, White Supremacists, AntiSemites, HandMaiden's Tale, Christian Fundamentalist Basket of Deplorables. This is Trump's last hurrah and Vance wants to become the figurehead of the movement.

My nephew graduated from a state school in two years because he took enough classes at the local community college during high school that he graduated with an associate’s degree in addition to his high school diploma. Not sure if that’s what Vance did though.

Yes, and as I noted, his positions on those *other* issues aren’t attractive to suburban women either. Neither is his contention that it’s not normal to care about reproductive rights.
