In the beginning of Biff's life he was always portrayed as the breadwinner of the family. Willy was always saying, "your going to make money, your well liked and attractive", and Biff always took that for granted. He got everything he ever wanted, without actually have to work hard for anything, first with the girls:

"The girls pay for you? Boy you must be making a hit," (16)..."There's a crowd of girl behind him every time he changes classes" (19), then with is grades, (Bernard tells the family), "Where is he? He doesn't study! (Willy tells Bernard) You'll give him the answers (Bernard answers Willy)...I do..." and friends, "You better go down to your friends, Biff. The cellar is full of boys. They want to know what to do with themselves...(Biff) I think I'll have them sweep out the furnace (21)".

No longer in high school and no longer popular Biff strove to make things work in his life, yet nothing he seemed to do would make it work. All the jobs that he had in his life, he always abused them to the point that he was fired or soon to be fired.

"Willy I remember, he flunked math...Biff got angry and he was ready to enroll in summer school...but he'd gone up to New England to visit you...and when he came back he burned his sneakers with "University of Virginia" on them."
