    Something about this seems a bit outlandish to tell the truth...

    I hate schools, but I do study hard on my interest,I think it would be better, and don't forget to find your role model or guru to get success on your marketing online

    So, EARNING is not inversely proportional to age. Most of us think that experience counts a lot. Now I understood that HARD WORK is important than experience. Am I correct?

    In my mind school/college is over rated.

    Sure we need a few classes such as English and math and a little history, but after that it should be all about what you will do with the rest of your life. Who cares about science if your not going to deal with it in your job, who cares about wood tech if your not going to build crap!

    8 of my friends went to college (including myself) and out of all 8 only I got a job doing what I went to college for. College is a big waste of money cause half the time people come out and don't even end up doing what they went for.

    The Internet is free. Just research, learn, and read and you'll soon be on your way to making money.

    Just some corrections - as always the claims of cash and age are exagerated. He may have been 16 when he FOUNDED clickagents, but he didn't sell it until he was 18 for 40 million. It wasn't until 2004 that he founded the second major company, BlueLithium, which Yahoo purchased in 2007 for 300 million. G was 25 at the time.

    So it's not '16 year old made 340 million', it's "25 year old put his nose to the grindstone and used talent to make 340 million over the past decade"

    ... and not to burst too many bubbles, but I'd point out he made his money being the middle man between advertisers and affiliates, NOT through being an affiliate - there's a reason for this. It's the same reason google makes money hand over fist and trying to 'get rich quick' through spamming out some off the shelf template for click-through advertising revenue is a pipe-dream at best, people falling for a scam at worst.

    I made my first 6 figures at 19 years old.

    I have yet to hit it again though. I was offered 350,000$ for a website I owned, but I respectfully declined. I couldn't even imagine 340 million
