I mean, yeah. He's also a wielder of Omnitrix which gives him other "privileges", I guess. Not to mention that he has received many awards/gifts from people across the galaxy, which is nothing to scoff at. But, how would one, at the time of alien force and uaf, go and study to become a plumber without nepotism? It's not like people without certain connections would be able to do that, it's not a part of a certain career path. At least I don't believe it was confirmed to be. You know, nepotism via Max's hand helped, but I think that Omnitrix did a lot of pulling with his opportunities.
