Thanks! I just wanted to inspire all the kids on this gaming forum to go to school while you are young, this is coming from a gamer who use to think school was irrelevant until I became a doctor; my perspective has definitely changed since I graduated from high school in 2002. I think higher education is essential for advancement of society. We need to teraform Mars asap, and putting more kids in school is the way we achieve this...even though i doubt in my life time this will happen!! :) (look that up on Wikipedia, TeraForming is a cool concept)

He's obviously not super young as he started two successful businesses before entering any type of secondary education. What you're saying falls pretty flat here.

I dont know what his age is, but starting two successful business could mean starting Two Subway restaurants which is easy to do (not saying that's what he did); just plunge down the initial fee (100-150k) and you got ur "business". Going back to school after you find out you should have been there in the first place is hard to do. How many ppl you talk to wish they had gone to school but thinks its too late for them to go back due to age or family or financial pressure? Plenty.
