Outstanding.

If he has gumption close to Holloway's kid he will be making more than most except the outliers....for a long time, if not in perp. Steady work counts for a lot as well.

Having a direction at an early age is something I never had. The option was there but was a machinist working in well paying shops. Cars, cigs, beer and women needs were well funded. What else is there at 19 years old? You're never growing old, right?

Get that kid on his path and stress the importance of getting really good (and fast) at one thing.

With respect to a prep class, I took a CPA prep class and passed first time, all parts, by the skin of my teeth. It was a defined set of data and I worked old tests for months. During the test I knew the answer was "C" or "B" while reading the question for many of them.

Way different than Sammy's kid. He's just way smart. Probably has clarity of thought as well. Wish I knew that one.

Congrats on the smoking score.
