Comment on Will Dropouts Save America?parent

Another data point: I started college in the US at 14 as well without a GED or high school diploma. There weren't really any safe-guards to prevent this.

I know a guy who started Oxford at 15, so it's apparently possible in the UK as well.

He calls it one of the greatest mistakes of his life, though, so it sounds like mileage may vary.

Care to share why he thinks that way?

Maybe because you are younger than all of your peers and you end up missing out many things because of it.

I totally understand him, I also felt the same way. But now I am on a good track in life so I would not call it a mistake. We all take different paths.
