Colorado_Mom: Our son has earned his BS in Mech Eng from the Fu Foundation school of Engineering and Applied Science. He walked in graduation two years ago at the age of 18 while he obtained his hs diploma at the age of 15/16. He did the Fu for about 2.5 or 3 yrs.

Anyway, I am here not discussing the age of going to school. However, I believe that I have heard some kids (not a lot) have done high school at the age of 12, 13, 14 etc and I know for sure some kids who have done college and engineering major 2.5 or 3 yrs. This is not news as it has been done.

My truly concerns are: our son is too young and is working Full Time (40 or 50 hours a week as plane designer-engineer) and the company has told him to take those two grad school majors instead of one only. I personally believe he can handle the job (working 40 to 50 hrs a week) however if being given another responsibility aka to take grad school programs on top his job, he will be too stressful. What do you think about it, like the stressful of life, the degree of difficulty of the programs of two majors, etc? muchas gracias, thanks.
