In 1999 I worked for a startup and was about to go to college. I was asked by the CEO to drop out of school and get a huge salary - I opted not to take the option and go to school instead. Turned out to be the right choice as they were out of business 6 mos. later.

Hm. Going to school 6 months later, with a wad of cash in your pocket, would have been a bad idea?

  Missing the first week of first year is a bad idea. 80% of college is meeting new friends. Initiation week (frosh?) is pretty awesome experience you will never get again. Money alone isn't everything.

    Agreed. I'd rather wait another term than missing the first few weeks.

Hmm.. Maybe if you had worked for them, they would have succeeded!
