I hope he is doing these things because he wants to do them. I can definitely see a smart kid getting bored by public K-12 education; it's unfortunate they can't meet his learning rate needs in typical public school. If his parents are pushing him into this, I hope they realize that the kid will not have a lot of the priceless memories and experiences that one has growing up with his or her peers in the teen years and early college days. Being in college at 21 is truly an experience.

Most of the majors he described seem to be actually doable. Some colleges like for an associates in mathematics tend to be light in the amount of classes you have to take. In my college, to get such associates in math, you’ll need 3 calculus classes, 3 units from the list A, and 3 from list B. (Basically one class from list A and list B) These majors seem to make quite some sense and can be done if you have the determination of only focusing on studying.

These people are just right: there is a big difference between an associates and a bachelor's. I got 4 associates in a year and a half and double majored in math in physics. The latter two get much more complicated at upper level. For a 12 year old, this is better in my mind, loading up on associates, since he can get his feet wet and see what he wants to do. Maybe too rushed still, idk. I have stories from my youth I love telling because it paints a different picture of what you see today. Being impressive with degrees can make someone 1D...

@@P.90.603 I would say person number 2 is smarter than person number 1 even though person number 1 was luckier to have been born in a place that helped him thrive. "Smart people feed off knowledge and knowledge makes people smarter." also being knowledgeable=/smart. To be knowledgeable you need to work hard and be lucky enough to be in a place where you can get information easily. To be smart/intelligent you just need to have good genetics. I think our definition of "smart" is different.

This shows you just how much a college education is worth. Even a 12 year old can get one.

Kid is obviously smart but this is kinda sus because there's only so much time in a day. Like did his parents really force him to do nothing but schoolwork for 15 hours everyday?

Some kids don’t have childhood but they have adulthoods. Some people have childhood but don’t have a future. Just gotta pick your poisons.

Oh please! You can not replace the innocence that comes along with actually being a child. He won’t ever know genuine relationships. He will simply have the means to make a bunch of purchases for junk that will never fill that empty hole. The spirit of human.
