Good for him. Now he's got the stress of getting an education of his back, and he can damn sure get any job within his field(s) because they'll know how hard of a worker he is. Hm...made the right choices, IMO.

I agree...college is maybe half education and half learning about yourself and breaking off from your parents in this day and age.
No, it doesn't. Not to mention the majority are likely people he wouldn't want to hang out with anyway.
I do believe that for those of us who go to college, it does shape you into the adult you will be.
how boring.
as much as I learned in classes, I probably learned more during my off-hours in college sitting around and getting into debates with my friends and professors... and cramming that much information in such short a time period, how do you ever have the time to sit back and appreciate what you're learning, how it applies to the world around you, and really "comprehend" it, beyond simple memorization.

I have to say though, physics and math are probably not hot fields for patent law. But he could probably do an electrical or chemical engineering degree in a semester and be set.
Dude, don't try to find an argument where there is none. If someone DOESN'T go to college, they develop just fine socially outside of it. Usually, they get an 8-5 job and hang out with friends at night. The comments about this kid have to do with the fact that he couldn't possibly have a social life with a school calendar that busy.
Are you having a bad day, or did you not go to college and are extra-sensitive about it?
Yes, because everybody that goes through college has this experience. :roll:
And maybe he enjoys books and learning more than a social life (who's to say he doesn't have one?). Not everybody has to be the same. While everybody else is out drinking, he's probably working on the cure for cancer... and more than likely, he's enjoying what he's doing.

Honestly, I can't believe that the school LET him take that many credits. Hell, they pitched a fit when I took 18 credits one semester.
There should not be any doubt that any student who goes to college, whether a dorm room hermit crab or fraternity member, would have better social skills than this kid who lives in books. And there's no way he could have any kind of life outside of his studies. With that said, there is soo much more to life than educational accomplishments. I doubt he'll ever get to experience the mysteries of life that most of us take for granted like whether or not he/she likes me, planning a surprise for your SO, breaking up with someone, getting into arguments with friend's or strangers about real issues or opinions, fun outdoor activities, tasting wine, going fishing, etc; all of which shape us into the decent and socially interactive human beings we are today. He'll lack all of that and soo much more.
Mysterious of life? Why can't he do that now? So you're saying everybody who skipped college, are social retards and lack any ability to communicate with others? He just skipped 3 years, more than likely, he's got more time for that kind of stuff than most folks.
No buddy, Im not saying that if you skip college, you miss out on all of the mysteries of life. Someone who doesnt go to college can experience everything that a college student experiences. I should have made that more clear. My point was that I could bet you that this kid is an extreme case of a hermit crab, sheltered from life and social experiences, and that will sadly effect him later in his life, more so than it makes him different now.
anyone here watched "A Beautiful Mind"?
If John Nash can get laid, i am sure this kid can.
John Nash's pickup line was
"I find you very attractive. Your aggressive moves toward me indicate that you feel the same way. But still, ritual requires that we go through a number of platonic activities before we have sex. I'm simply proceeding with those activities. But in point of actual fact, all I really want to do is have intercourse with you as soon as possible. You're gonna slap me now. "
He got laid shortly after.

Right, and how are you going to confirm that 'bet'? And who cares if that's the case. Not everybody is a social butterfly. He probably enjoyed his college experience more than the average person. Just because it's different than yours, doesn't mean it's worst.
