Big decision for LeBron?

Yeah, I wasn't trying to dispute that point. I was only trying to point out that many of the kids who skip college to directly to work don't have the option of going to college. For many of them, the financial obligations are either completely out of reach or so large as to make it unreasonable to carry so much debt. Others simply can't get in based on their academic merit. There's nothing wrong in them making that decision.

But if a kid who was mechanically gifted were offered a full boat to college and turned it down to join the union, I think you might see some people talk about it. Again, I would say that there's nothing wrong with making that decision, but it might prompt some discussion, just as Lebron's decision has.

And I also agree that it's a no-brainer for Lebron. College and a possible blown knee, or $100 million in the bank tomorrow. . .
