<p>yeah, internet business. from op: “He was in the news a few times because he owned a website that some large company tried to buy out.” </p>
<p>i think that’s really cool actually. i hope he succeeds with his ranching/ website developing or whatever he does, lol.</p>
<p>He’s not a dumbass. Obviously he wants to be a farmer or rancher. If thats what he wants in life then so be it. You ever read Walden by Thoreau? You should take a look at it…</p>
<p>CCers need to realize that there is more to life than going to college.</p>
<p>but walden is based on the inference that you could actually afford to live such a “natural” life without any obligations attached. in the modern world, he has bills to pay, future children to pay for, parents to pay for (maybe this is more of an asian thing, but regardless you should look out for your parents once you’ve gotten a decent job) etc etc.</p>
<p>maybe he’s going to own that piece of land and develop websites more? </p>
<p>but wow. he sounds so cool O_O</p>
<p>
Have you ever read Civil Disobedience? Thoreau’s philosophy doesn’t really work out too well for him.</p>
<p>He sounds really cool.</p>
<p>I would never have the courage to do this…</p>
<p>thats pretty amazing</p>
<p>This guy sounds very interesting, like someone I’d like to meet. 
I’m not sure his decision was the right one, but he sounds like an interesting and unique guy. Just wondering though, how does a high school student go about buying property in Kentucky? Presumably he’s under (or just newly) 18?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Then you would have to take the “College” out of the “Confidential” =D</p>
<p>Guy did want he wanted to do. Glad he had the ■■■■■■■ that very, very few intelligent kids do. People do what they do primarily because they’re programmed to do it for college, this kid had the guts to follow his heart. </p>
<p>Score one for freedom.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And considering how many disregard the the Confidential, what would we have left?</p>
<p>^ High school life forum?</p>
<p>^That’s all I ask for.</p>
<p>this thread forcibly reminds me of my slacker brilliant friend who is a huge fan of “catcher in the rye” and also titled her college essay, “a farmer’s wife”. Maybe your friend should contact my friend over facebook…</p>
<p>With my calculus teacher breathing down my neck like a stupid *****, i’m gonna drop out of HS if i get a perfect SAT’s.</p>
<p>^ Perfect SATs don’t mean **** if you drop out of high school.</p>
<p>I think this farmer dude would be kinda creeped out if he knew that he had a support group on CC.</p>
<p>^Lol, probably</p>
<p>Personally though, I could never do what this guy did. You came this far, you might as well graduate. That’s just me though:)</p>
<p>I worship this guy. who is he. what’s his name. i want to stalk him over the next 10 years to see what happens to him.</p>
<p>then i can write a book about it and become a bestselling author. yay! ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>… until you get a GED and reapply to colleges</p>
