Yes my kid turned down CMU and joined his older brother 2nd tech start up. The first start up was acquired for 500M by another FinTech start up. |

Lots of kids are getting pushed into a disastrous four years of college. What are your child’s interests? |

Don’t you think they will regrets missing college later in life? Or that it may limit them socially? Just curious. To many people, money does not trump all things. |
