Eye-opening, eye-popping stats! It should be very motivational to all young people what you can do in a short period of time if you put your mind and your energy into self-education and self-improvement. I won't say it's easy, but then again, it's not hard, to put yourself far ahead of the pack. For most, college is an impediment that will stunt one's growth. Get real-life experience and skills. And then -- never stop reading the best material you can find to fine-tune your understanding of what really works in the real world. Start with the virtues, natural law, stoicism, and Austrian economics. These are subjects no university will ever teach you! Read Louis L'Amor novels, as highlighted in Maxim's posts, they will give you insight into what men of real character think and do. Then live the example and be the example for others. It's not easy, but it's not hard to differentiate yourself from you peers. You will be noticed. The stats guarantee it.

What an interesting dialogue. I can’t help but think of the unique people you are connecting with, not only now but down the road because of your unique path. Expect you are already on the radar of others who will make themselves known to you in time. So much is/will be about people you'd never have met otherwise.
