From the article: "However, I cringe when I hear the title “CEO” used lightly. To me, it conveys a lack of humility and a desperate call for attention." Lacking humility and making desperate calls for attention? High school is all about lacking humility and making desperate calls for attention. Calling yourself the CEO of your personal non-incorporated company would be par for the course, not a shocking breach of decorum. I can't think its much different than my having pretended to be a wizard doing magic on the occasional weekend night. I think that the sad part about this is that teenager's imaginations have slipped to the level where the geeks among them now play at being things that actually exist.* Kids these days... *= Although I am a lisp programmer awash in a C of embedded systems guys (read: warriors), so pretending to a wizard and saying a bunch of mumbo-jumbo incantations that only I understood (and then blasting my enemies with fireball!) may have been some sort of pseudo-apprenticeship.
