>Invest in me, not my ideas

why is it any better just throwing money in a window

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Yes. Because there are many, many 17 year olds just like you, or better than you. There are very few who are "successes", at age 17.

To invest in you is like putting money in the lottery. In fact, if I were you, I would distrust any offers you DO get, because those people are probably not good with their own money and would not have YOUR best interests in mind.

well put, I second this sentiment. The people chiming in on HN who are advocating a more thoughtful approach, of figuring out how to make school work out, are the folks on your side.

it takes time and years of effort to be successful. Make it easier by forcing yourself to level up with more education etc first.

Thank you for your input. I would like to think investing in me has a greater ROI than the lottery ;).

Also, I appreciate your concern for my better interest.
