Too bad i'm past 20....
I think it's awesome. I would have been all over that 24 years ago!

Fortunately, without finishing high school myself (I would have been the first in my family to graduate high school as my parents and grandparents never made it.) and also not finishing college (I missed achieving another first for my family there as well), I have managed to own multiple companies, I have been awarded several patents, and all I want to do all day every day is innovate. I can't get enough of it.

I have sold companies for millions (albeit the low millions, nothing like some are doing these days) and this has allowed me to continue to dream and try to push the envelope on what is possible today.

If you are a true dreamer of what "could" be and you have drive then I say get your basic education (for me it was through 10th grade, then I took my GED and tried college for two years), then find a way to make money with those dreams, even if it's just enough to get by at first. It's never been as easy to make money in the United States than it is today thanks to technology and the internet.

Never give up and likely you will find success. Even if you don't make it big, you likely will have had a much richer life as a result of following your dreams and trying to innovate.
