[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It worked for the family that started Five Guys. [/quote] I don't know them. Tell me about that.[/quote] They didn't start out wealthy but started the business instead of paying for college with the money they'd saved. Just read this: http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2012/0806/restaurant-chefs-12-five-guys-jerry-murrell-all-in-the-family.html[/quote] Thank you. The bigger issue I see is, future employers may value the trend-bucking entrepreneurial ethos, the way some places value tattoos (yes, they exist) and the way some places absolutely value casual dress. So, a kid coming in who started a company after high school may be a more attractive hire than the kid who diligently completed college and has nothing else. If you are sending your child to make him or her more employable, value of the education be damned, that is another concern, because I don't even know if that will be gospel truth in 20-30 years.[/quote]
