This boy is 11 and graduated collage already. I am trying to understand this. It's just amazing to me.
Which means, now he's got 6+ years to pick his nose, dribble balls, shoot the hoops, snap whips, chase dogs and such alike. If he chooses to skip all that to go ahead to take advantage of his degree, that would be an end of him as a wholesome person.
Well I wish an 11 year old luck in finding a job, college graduate or not he's not an adult
This about sums up my feelings. Then when he's been out of school for so many years and old enough to get a job, noone will employ him cause he hasn't been doing anything and his knowledge isn't fresh.
He could get PHD before 20, then become the youngest faculty in University.
I am just wondering why his parents don't send him to 4 year college where he can have better education.

Astrophysics doesn't have an age requirement. He will most likely do a Masters and PhD before he worries too much about a paying job. There was a boy a few years ago who went into some kind of science as most of these prodigies do, and he worked alongside adults in a lab at about 13 years old.
What is so beautiful about the very young geniuses in the field of science, is their imaginations allow them to think way past what an adult's more reasonable mind does.
It's exciting to think of what this youngster will come up with in the next few years.

They are sending him to a 4 year college...
And don't feel sorry for him for being so gifted. He has many years to keep developing and further his education. I am pretty sure he wont be working at walmart at the age go 18.

He is gifted for a reason. he might be curing cancer, HIV in 10 years? Im sure it is not a waist of time.

His field of interest is astrophysics. Not likely he will be curing cancer or AIDS. He'd be more apt to discover new solar systems and reasons for activity in the universe.

Then maybe he can prevent is from being sucked up by a black hole?
Just kidding...
I am sure he will develop just fine. No walmart.
