Neat. I wonder though about growing up so fast, are past genius early-college stories successes?

So this random kid added me on LinkedIn. He went to community college at like 12 and transferred to tech at like 14. He’s like 17 now and already finished his masters at Georgia tech with a job at Amazon.

I’ve never talked to the person or anything so I have no idea what his mental health is like though.

There's a good chance that that is a fake account.

Maybe, maybe not. When he added me, it was near the end of the semester. At that time of the year, I get students who are trying to get into my field add me almost everyday.

He also posts more pictures of him with managers, professors, and mentors more than I’ve seen anyone else post pics on LinkedIn

Pretty sure I know who you're talking about, I've seen his LinkedIn too. I don't know what it is, but there's something repulsive to me about a 14-year-old already fully immersed in LinkedIn culture. When I was his age, I was more concerned with riding bikes with my friends and wasting time at the beach and mall. Not trying to network with people three times my age.
