no offense... but the kid is silly to not take a job with the NHL right out of school, scolarship or not.
i'd bet his contract would cover the cost of going to college afterwards, and who knows if he'll get picked again after college--injuries, better players, etc.
college does not equal riches beyond belief, or even jobs after graduation. a NHL starter postion might...
I would hefta agree. I mean, as college student myself, isn't main reason you're in college is to get a 'decent job' in the field you're interested in? The 10% or so, IMO, that are in college to actually gain knowledge, could do so at any age. It's not like a 27 or 35 year old is any dumber then a 22yo?
