What career did Bernard choose and what special opportunity did Bernard achieve later in life?

As a child, Bernard is depicted as an unathletic, intelligent boy, who looks up to Biff and tries his best to warn him about studying for his math exam. Willy looks down on Bernard as a child and believes that he will not be successful in life because he is not well-liked. Unlike Willy, Charley instills positive character traits in Bernard, who learns the importance of hard work and education as a young man. Unfortunately, Biff grows up to be an unsuccessful adult, who cannot hold a steady job or find a meaningful career. In contrast, Bernard grows up to become a successful lawyer, who will be presenting a case in front of the Supreme Court. When Bernard runs into Willy at his father's office, he is depicted as a humble, intelligent man. Bernard serves as Biff's foil throughout the play and illustrates the importance of hard work, commitment, and education.
