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.
NP. OK, that’s great, but anyone with a normal story?
Probably not many here 'cause its a college forum.

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.

My nephew will be going to welding school. He’ll probably be making more than me soon.
