counselors and tell them what is happening.
They could give him a leave of absense - and a chance to pick up where
he left off in another year or so.

Speaking of stupid, today's Washington Post magazine has a disturbing
article about the meltdown caused by a West Virginia guy's winning a
massive Powerball 2 years ago. Sounds like it went to his head, and
the entire region; destroyed families, strip clubs, drugs, all sorts
of mayhem.

Getting it all at once is an impressive thing, but it is really not that much
money. If one earns a very modest, middle class $50k a year, one will earn,
and mostly likely spend, $1,000,000
Money for nothing. The vast majority of people who win lotteries go broke
within three years. Why? They didn't earn it, and therefore they don't value
it.
The same rule applies to people who inherit large sums of wealth. In the U.S.,
most inherited fortunes are totally gone by the third genera

Paralyzed by fear is so me. The only time I played in a high stakes
poker game I choked big time. When there was more money on the table
than I made in a year (at the time that is) was too much to take. I

Charlie,
I have met fery few people that are able to remove emotion from money.
People are either blinded by greed or paralyzed by fear. Your
experience is very much the norm.
Like most things, a healthy dose of ambition and caution is best.
