The homeschooled adults I know compete quite well in the real world.

I know of many, many examples that meet your claim. One, in particular, is currently studying law, running his own sales business, and representing another company as their "point-man" on a $2 million deal in Texas----he's 18.

The author of the book, Eregon, was a homeschooled high school student, so I've heard. He finished it about the time he graduated from high school.
