- I'm an 18 year old second semester CS student. Most of my classmates are
- adults, and I'm the only one who's breezing through the coursework and a lot
- of independant study. The rest of the students are struggling and the course
- has been slowed down considerably so they wouldn't fail. Any company who
- hired one of them right now would be in trouble, while most companies would
- benefit from my talent. One of the competent upper-division CS students
- picked me to form a partnership in an Internet programming business with.
- He's an industry professional who felt that an 18 year old with < 6 months of
- programming experience was worth taking a risk on.
