"Find out how something works, really find out how something works."

All this work and he becomes a college professor what a waste. Most of these prodigies go work some boring job either at a university or company.

I would rather be a college dropout make mistakes and go learn a business system. Build or purchase my own company. Turn around and hire these brains and have them build my company up generating R&D for 60,000 a year in salaries.

Just my opinion

Are you even aware of what college professors do? The majority of their work is personal research, while they teach on their "days off". If you understood this I am sure you would not think this way.

How else would they get funding to do research on anything they pleased?
