    Nobody is “wildly successful” at 18.

      Well I mostly have As on my report card and I could have played lacrosse but I was too busy.

      There’s a few very specific fields that peak at or around 18 and the list is basically certain sports, ballet, and sex work. Also this person looks like Edward Cullen but 10 years old.

      Depends what you call wildly succesful. If you got straight A trough all classes until you’re 18, or you already have your own business and it actually makes money, I would call that wild success

      On my 18th birthday, I had a college scholarship, a job in an auto repair shop, a pilot’s license, and I owned a new pickup and a new motorcycle. I had a girlfriend who looked like Joan Jett if she had grown up listening to Green Day instead of AC/DC. And I didn’t look like the tendon sticking out of a chicken tender crossed with a 14th term senator. I was pretty successful for an 18 year old.

        All totally paid for by said job.

          They could’ve gotten it from trade school for free, some high schools offer it for no price. I’m 19 years old and I’m making $30/hour working in IT. I didn’t go to tech school for computer networking though, I originally went for auto motive. I got my CompTIA A+ certification, and I also have my own electronics store on eBay where I sell Libreboot computers and other hardware (routers, switches, etc.).
