You can never be too old to go to college. You can be too old, or too injured, to play professional basketball.

Billy, I agree. As I always say.....if a kid is sitting in his computer class in college, and a guy from IBM or Cisco, (or fill in any big IT company name) comes in and says, I'll give you $xM over the next y years to get up and follow me.....most kids would be gone!
I just hope they're smart with their money and get some good advice, as for most any fame and fortune is fleeting.
