"BFA as a painter with a minor in photography, diploma of small business management, advanced diploma of graphic design, cert IV of interior decoration."
And yet, for all this arts/design education, and the contacts he made while living in LA with Tess, he still couldn't get into any sort of employment in a creative field while there. He impregnated his obese sugar mama, took mediocre photographs of her, did bad Photoshop on the resulting images, and that was the best he could do. And when he was trying to sell crude, shitty digital paintings of Tess in order to buy a one-way ticket back to Australia, we saw just how much that BFA in painting was actually worth.
Every university Fine Arts and Graphic Design program accepts untalented no-hopers as majors, because if they only accepted the talented, promising students, there would scarcely be any majors at all, and the programs would be drastically cut for being economically unviable. (I've got a personal lolcow who earned a post-bac BFA in Art in her 40s, and she makes Nicky-boy here look like Michelangelo).
He has the attitude of, "Look--I have all this education! And yet I'm unfairly stuck working in a supermarket!" He's too dumb, and too far up his own ass, to understand that all that education is wasted on somebody like him who has no talent, and no ability. He's one of those dunces who is like, "Okay, World! I've got my degree! Now give me the career that goes with it!" And he hasn't yet figured out that working in a supermarket, or jobs like it,
is that career.
He claims he is intersex and shares he was raped and there were many attempts as well. He shares he has had an eating disorder. He doesn't mind if his partner sells nude photos. (Hmmm...)

Were he intersex, he never would have been able to impregnate Tess; it doesn't fucking work that way. I think it's been speculated here that he was born with a congenital malformation of his penis, where the shaft doesn't fully close, so the urethral opening is further down the underside of the penis, rather than at the tip. It can be corrected with surgery, as he describes. But it's not an intersex condition.
Having to go through a bunch of surgeries on his penis as a kid, and sit to urinate instead of stand, and being aware early on that he's deformed and therefore inadequate as a boy/man would certainly be enough to screw him up, especially when it comes to sexuality. But he's totally male, totally a man, and unambiguously so. The only sex he might have been "bashed" for because he failed to pass adequately was as a woman, not a man. He may have got his ass kicked for acting like a screaming fag and cross-dressing around the wrong sorts of people, but his alleged attackers would have known damned well that he was a man when they did so.
Here are some very questionable claims about his skills and past work experience... If anyone could confirm/deny any of those it would be interesting.

"As the former in house designer and then later head of the department of a large format digital print house ..."
He's making "I worked in a shop that printed off banners and signs, could operate the machinery competently enough not to get fired, and occasionally used Photoshop to come up with adequate banners and signs for businesses too small and broke to hire a professional graphic designer." He's just puffing himself up to sound like he was a Creative Professional.
"I'm a vogue published photographer..."
He probably did get one of his photos of Tess published in
Vogue, back in her heyday. It was probably on one of those pages where they have multiple short blurbs on people of interest at the moment, because had Tess ever been photographed specifically for
Vogue, they would have hired a professional.
"... and have created work for multinational companies like Sanrio..."
I assume the local Sanrio store had signs printed by the sign shop Nick worked at.
He says moving to the States was a big mistake and how women are his "second option".

Yeah, he had to pretend to be the adoring "millionaire businessman" husband/accessory of a vapid Narcissist deathpig, while failing to gain any employment whatsoever. Anything he was qualified to do wouldn't have fit with the image he was supposed to project, and in a town wall-to-wall with underemployed, genuinely talented people, nobody was going to hire him for anything remotely cool, desireable, or well-paying. On top of that, he kept failing to seek or gain employment even after becoming a father, and even after it became obvious that the deathpig's flash-in-the-pan career (which was never as high-paying as she no doubt pretended it was) was in its death spiral.
His quality of life in the US was a "serious downgrade" because he got lured there by a fantasy that was just as much of his own making as Tess's, and spent all his time there pretending that the fantasy was real, rather than rolling up his sleeves and dealing with the reality of it. Of course his mental health went into the shitter; the easy, glamorous life he thought Tess would provide failed to materialize, and he was unable to rise to the occasion and be a competent, responsible adult. That's his failure, not the US's, not LA's, and not even Tess's.
And now he's back in Australia, working at a job he believes is beneath him, and bitching about how his old man is still thoroughly unimpressed with him. He's truly found his level, and doesn't even realize it.
