Hmmmm....my grandson must be pretty "sharp"....at age 6 he could add 3 digit numbers to 2 digit numbers....in his head. We're trying to make sure he gets it in his head to go to college....but, he wants to work OUTSIDE (his dad owns a small construction contracting company.) Have been trying to explain that getting an engineering or business degree still means he can work construction....but, he can be the boss!

, , , getting an engineering or business degree still means he can work construction....but, he can be the boss! You are absolutely right. There are many thing learned "outside" of a degree, but the discipline from the accomplishment is priceless.
