put his M.B.A. toward founding JoBlo.com....

0Hello. I was reading an article (the same article regarding which I posted previous two postings) and came across with this phrase "put his M.B.A. toward". This appeared in a paragraph that talks about movie fans who created blogs on which they creatively and humorously criticize movies. 02br
02br
00The phrase appeared in the following sentence: Or they are like Berge Garabedian, 33, of Montreal, who put his M.B.A. toward founding JoBlo.com after critics trashed 01i00Armageddon02i00, a movie he and all of his friends loved. 02br
02br
00Please help, and thanks in advance. 0-
