One nephew started college at 14, had his two year classes done by 16, then he could take the GED at 16, turn it in to the college to “validate” his two years.

Why college? The military takes in 17 year-olds. 16 may be a bit young. An honorable discharge can be rewarded with a $5k Roth reward and 40+ years of compound interest to look forward to. Perhaps 14 years of vouchers that would encourage one to learn faster than the standard 16(K-12 + University).

*The problem is the “stigma” of the GED... there is one.*
This short article suggests the stigma will be removed. Watch the union drama queens act out the same way they call everyone racists only this time they’ll call them stupid.
