In general, programmers (and similar individuals) do not have the best experiences during elementary and high school.

Why wouldn't you want to get to the stage where you have freedom to make your own decisions, to control how you spend your time, to earn and spend your own income, as quickly as possible?

If skip enough years of school, you can graduate college early and start your career at only 20, and then you don't have to go to happy hour with your colleagues.
