That's the thing... here I am, making a lot of money for a kid my age (and I have been for two years), and I don't have a degree. If someone offered me a contract at a measly $1 million a year for six years... I would jump on that in nothing flat. Education is great, and I plan on going to school... but my real dream is to <b>sit around and do nothing</b>. It's just how I'm happy. I don't need to go out and accomplish something big to feel good about myself; I'd rather spend my time reading stuff online and playing more games and spending more time just relaxing. If I got an opportunity to even work my ass off for six years so that I could stop after that... I wouldn't think twice about it. Sign me right up.
So why should these kids be any different? We *should* have educated children, yeah... but most basketball players aren't Ph.D students anyway, so we can probably assume that their contributions to society aren't going to be sorely missed. They get to be happy and make a ton of money doing something that they love... like I said, wouldn't even think twice. I'd do that in a heartbeat.
