re: I feel bad for AJ

Recognizing one's own limitations is a part of growing up. Think about your childhood dreams vs. life's reality. Most people have to learn to settle at some time or another. AJ seems like a good kid, a worker, a leader, and a team-player. I'm sure he's a great tiger. But if he can't start producing, we have to look elsewhere. That's life. Maybe these kids get hard lessons earlier than most of us, but they also have the opportunity to earn what average white-collar professionals make in a career in a few months time by their mid-20s.
