Our 10 year old son was asked by our daughter last year what he wants to do when he grows up. He said "I want to work from home and be an affiliate marketer". Obviously, he's been watching too much You Tube videos. Three months after he said this, he convinced us (his parents) to get into affiliate marketing. So here we are.

But the article above validates the truth about American society. We are plagued by student loans for courses that minimally delivered. And then some people realize they are in the wrong industry and move on to do something else.
And we've seen young ultra-successful individuals like Ohanian, and the most famous of all Mark Zuckerberg. Yes, these people went to college, but made it big doing something else.
So I appreciate the out of the box thinking of my 10 year old son. He got his parents into affiliate marketing because he is too young to do it himsef, he said. Knowing where his interest is in, I'm reassured that it will not take him half his life (like his parents) before he starts something that can potentially make his dream come true.
He's starts today with site-rubix. :-)
