The scenario implies that the student was able to become a sociology professor through the guidance and mentorship of the shy sociology professor who befriended him. This suggests that networking and mentorship were instrumental in the student's career advancement. While getting multiple degrees and working hard may have played a role, the scenario's emphasis on the student's relationship with his professor suggests that networking and mentorship were key factors. Politics at a micro level is not mentioned and is therefore unlikely to be a relevant factor in this scenario.
