Weighing College vs. Career

Are there instances where a high school student is better off jumping into a career instead of going to college or, in some instances, finishing high school?  This article from The New York Times talks about some teens who have hit it big creating apps and the struggles they face when trying to make that decision.  Their parents and grandparents, as can be expected, want them to go to college and follow the same path to success that they followed.  The teens, on the other hand, see an opportunity to start a career and question why they need to follow what they see as an outdated life path.

As the seniors prepare to embark on their lives after high school and the sophomores begin the career unit, this is hopefully an article which can appeal to any of you.  If you would like, feel free to leave a comment after reading the article.
