Laytonian,
Yes, I saw the jobs he had held, and wondered too. But, it might have been an effort to become his own man.Hence the Linkedin entry where SK was seeking employment as a technical writer.Something he had never done before, and wasn't really trained in. But, maybe he didn't want to be a journalist maybe he wanted to make his own way ?
The suicide scenario could be : SK takes a resume to someone in Anthem. They tell him "we'll call you." The next day, a desperate Steven does not hear anything, and takes his own life. But how ? And where would he have gone to ? Weren't the probable areas searched ? This scenario has him suiciding on Thirsday, after his VM was checked. Where would he have spent the previous night ? Was there another way he could have walked and gotten into his car at night ? I mean without the video cameras picking him up ? (because the family said he was not seen on any other tapes).
