Re: dropping out
I think people either have or do not have social skills by the time they are in (not graduated from) high school. I can think of lots of kids in high school with no social skills (think Colombine). I found high school to be just another hoop to jump through. I would have dropped out in a second if I was making the kinda cash she does!
I think you missed my point. It's not about getting a diploma or GED. Those are just piece of paper for others to judge you on. There's certain skills one develops at that age that are important in life. More so than money I think. Like learning to make friends, how to communicate and interact with others. This is something you can't learn sitting in a basement on the internet all day while your friends are all at school in a normal social environment. Lots of home schooled kids suffer form this. Sure they can do college level math while they are still in 9th grade. But they have ZERO friends. They don't know how to communicare or interact with others cause they never learned how.
There's a chance this girl could wind up with $50MM, but have no friends because she does not know how to communicate and interact with others.
Remember the Unabomber? ULTRA smart guy. ZERO social skills.
