Does he just go and get an official adult job at the age of 15 and 16.
I imagine he’ll go for a phd so it’ll still be a little while but no way any adult is going to respect a 20 year old with a chip on his shoulder and likely thinks he is smarter than everyone.

I never understood “skipping” a ton of grade levels. It creates socially awkward people and what in the grand scheme of things does it help the person? Traded 10 years of being around his peers and developing social skills that he can still get a phd later.
I don't think it is the skipping of grades "creates" social awkwardness. A percentage of people are just socially awkward without regard to how they function intellectually. My experience has been that some are also as much advanced in their social skills as academic skills. As a parent of a gifted child who also first attended classes at a university at 11, she just preferred to interact with adults by the time she was 9 or 10. By 18 she was participating in presentations of research projects of her university at national conferences. Other bright kids we knew were building wind tunnels at 12 and using them to measure the energy created by passing automobiles, but also socially gregarious.
The pertinent issue seems more about whether academics becomes the sole focus of their lives. The push to graduate college very early feels like a bragging rights thing.

Outstanding !
So he graduated high school when he was 10 ?
Think about that for a minute.
Part of me wants to commend him.
Another part laments that he probably did not date any high school girls.
Now he will most likely go to grad school and wind up working for NASA at Goddard or Huntsville.
I hope he cures cancer.
Good luck to him.

I saw SU and the immediate thought was why couldn't a 14-year-old graduate from there?
Mine was "oh, he's the student that can read".

Of ALL the ways to create socially awkward people, skipping grades is NOT the worst way.
O-T Lounge graduates will attest to this

Good for him. Ugly flyer or no, his parents are making a positive impact on the community.

He said they were required to do so, and that SUNO students who missed three classes were dropped a letter grade.
I had a history prof at A&M that pulled that bullshite.
It was a 300+ person class and the fricker made us have assigned seats so his dickhead TA could count heads.

I wonder how he would do at MIT?
Posted on 3/2/22 at 10:05 am to TrueTiger
Probably better than I would.

I would posit that more than 1% of the general populace at age 14 can pass college classes at Southern University.
He should have enrolled at SUNO, he would have two doctorate degrees by now.

I’ve never met a chemical engineer that went to Southern. Didn’t even know they had a program

why didn't he go to a better school?
He is 14. He just graduated from there. He can probably go get his masters anywhere he wants. Maybe it was a family tradition to go to Southern or the first school to offer him a scholarship. Either way, I don't think it matters where someone like him gets a degree from. I'm sure "graduated from college at 14" speaks for itself.
I can imagine the 11 year old me starting college.
