<p>Depends how much I would get. If I had an average of $2 million per year for the rest of my life then yes. Anything less and I would work. Maybe part time work. Or maybe I’d start a big time business with all the money! Really want to be a company executive.</p>
<p>It’d be a heck of a lot easier to get into college if I could pay full tuition. So high school grades, at least, wouldn’t be as important.</p>
<p>
Yes. Unfortunately I’m a nerd with little better to do than try hard in school. I would definitely still go to a top college because my family coming into money would only mean I don’t have to worry about paying for it. Likewise, choosing a career without having to consider money would be nice.</p>
<p>I have a tendency to go crazy during the summer when I have nothing to do, so as brutal as the high school grind is… I would still do it. I also can’t just “try less.” That would just damage my confidence, make me feel like I’m wasting time and being inconsiderate of my teachers.</p>
<p>If I had money like that I’d still try hard- only in totally different subjects.
I’d work at becoming an author and film maker… cuz I could afford the risk.</p>
<p>I’d seriously love to be able to do that. Curse me and my non-richness!</p>
<p>I honestly would still try hard in school and try to get into a great college for a great career cuz i feel that after a while of not having to work and just have fun with your money, you’ll get bored at some point cuz ur fam and friends have lives of their own too so you will need something to do with yourself and since i like to challenge myself, i would try to have the most successful career i can possibly can with the most positive credentials i can get which is where the selective colleges come into play.</p>
<p>[quoute] I’d commit myself to learning what I want to learn rather than to getting a degree

<p>Yes, thank you. The only person who really knows what should be done if you inherit a ton of money.</p>
<p>You aren’t restricted by needing a job for money, so do what you want with your life. If you want to be an actor, artist, musician, pursue that.</p>
<p>“I’d commit myself to learning what I want to learn rather than to getting a degree.”
Exactly this. I love learning, but I don’t like actually doing work, so this would be for me :P</p>
<p>Oh, and also worth mentioning: My chemistry teacher told us about his cousin who won like $30 Million in the lottery, and at first, he just quit his job and did nothing. But after a few years he got bored and now he works a part-time job.</p>
<p>I would go to school for four years and double major in areas that interest me. Probably history and philosophy, or langauges.</p>
<p>From there, I’d spend probably five or so years traveling the world, backpacking, living in a foreign place like Amsterdam. After a few years of that, I’d go back to school (hopefully at a foreign university), study more things I’m interested in, and spend the rest of my life writing and traveling. I’d spend time I technically wasn’t in school just learning on my own, through reading. Throughout my travels I would photo document them.</p>
<p>If the traveling ever got old, I’d settle down in some city and open something like an art gallery or a book shop.</p>
<p>id probably do what i do now. but feel A LOT less pressured. with the economy and all.</p>
<p>yes, I would keep trying to get to a top college. I know that I don’t need to provide for myself. Ever (it’s a long story but let’s pretend that I DID win the lottery and have enough for the rest of my life, so you get what I’m talking about).</p>
<p>the only reason I want to go to a top institution is because I love to learn, and I want the best resources and education as I can possibly get.</p>
<p>Ehh, I would still definitely complete high school and probably go on to college as well, but I wouldn’t be too stressed about grades and I probably wouldn’t bother with APs.</p>
<p>I’d buy Harvard a new library and a forceful nudge lmao.</p>
<p>I love learning so yes. Cannot imagine what it’s like to be unproductive and just sit around for the rest of my sorry life.</p>
