Mr. Magnotta attended Thompson Internet College when he was about 19 years old, trying to finish his high school degree. He lost interest after about four months. In 2007, he enrolled in an academic bridging program at the University of Toronto but dropped out after two weeks because he couldn't "understand any of it." He attempted to enroll in a real estate agent training program in 2010, but was denied admission because he lacked a grade 12 equivalency, "couldn't do makeup classes," and "couldn't concentrate." | Mr. Magnotta attended Thompson Internet College when he was about 19 years old, trying to finish his high school degree.

Magnotta first worked in the sandwich restaurant, but only lasted for 2 months due to complaints of his sandwich making. His mental illness made it difficult for him to work, including when he often stayed up late the night and the stress led him to quit jobs many times. Magnotta, who was 18 at that time, worked at a grocery store for less than a month before being fired. He worked at a Great Canadian Bagel restaurant until he quit again because he had too much stress for him to continue working. Magnotta also said that he was on "welfare and then began receiving Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) payments" at the age of 18 or 19 due to mental health issues. Magnotta had moved a few cities in his twenties, moving to New York city in 2008 before returning to Toronto in 2010. | Magnotta first worked in the sandwich restaurant, but only lasted for 2 months due to complaints of his sandwich making.
