Ok I'll help clutter the bandwidth up on this subject. I'll turn 21 next week and I ran a BBS and could repair any PC when I was 10, I started home-schooling and then started working at 14 in a computer shop. I've never quit learning and have almost 7 years experience behind me now. MCSE CCNA and working on CCNP. I've received opportunities that are amazing. At 18 I made more money than my parents combined. I wasn't forced to do it but rather it was my decision. I don't think it is for everyone but those that make the commitment at that age I think have a level of maturity that makes them capable. My childhood wasn't lost, and I know what I want out of life, The only thing I would change is to learn more. Just my two cents.

If your 12 or even 18 and trying to acheive any certification, your life
must suck. What happened to having a childhood? I didn't know what I wanted
to do until I was 20something. These kids should be forced to go to
ChuckyCheese eveyday for a year.
