B.S. [b]It's to both save money and start life. [/b]It's called opportunity cost. Google it. It's silly to piss away a year of life "taking courses". The magical part of undergrad is that first year and second. After that, mature students are eager to move on. Finish as quickly as you can and either jump into a career or head to medical or law school, so you can quickly finish that and make some real money.[/quote]

The ones I know doing this have extraordinary credentials and want to attend grad school[/quote]

Umm... yeah... that means they are starting grad school a year earlier and will finish grad school a year earlier...thus, starting their professional life a year earlier. And will in theory likely marry and have a child a year sooner. Old farts needs to stop romanticizing being pot smoking loafers in a college town for a year at age 21-22, like that in any way helps you. :roll: The world moves FAST now, so surprise overachieving kids are reacting.[/quote]
