My situation was kind of different.My father was killed in a car accident when I was 15 turning 16 years old.It was just me and my mom facing the world trying to rebuild our identities in life.I mainly went to school to make my father happy but I loved learning.When I had the 98 and 96's scores for subjects he would love bragging to his family so that always made me feel good that he was so happy.I stayed at home and went to college for 2 years and it was all paid for and I could have gone longer but I felt a different calling.To create,innovate,and feel alive and passionate about being a business owner.I would hang around other business owners as a teen to get their perspective on things.Amazingly most said it is good to have book knowledge but practical knowledge will get you much further in business on the street.It's kind of like a professor teaching business classes that has never ran a business in their whole life.They know nothing but theory and what sounds good.In reality I want to learn knowledge from thriving business owners who have been in the game for awhile and have real world experience.I did move out from my mom's place although I was in my mid to late 20's but my life wasn't typical like many.I believe it is fine for kids to stay at home as long as they are bettering themselves and have a plan to get on their feet.Sadly many are being and free loading and not requiring much of themselves and I do not agree with that.
