Sure he'll get a big signing bonus but after taxes and spending on a house and crap it may not be enough for a 20-something to last his lifetime, plus he obviously if very interested in that profession and will be doing it anyway from the age of 30 or 40 until retirement.

      - Exactly, for 99% of people, college is about prepping for the best career options, he's clearly prepped to be the big-$$ guy. - Will Hunting Jan 7, 10:22
