I'm not entirely sure this guy is a "kid", and this clearly isn't just data entry that he's doing (as many people are claiming). He claims to be making 250,000 USD with bonuses a year [0]. I'm surprised no one has questioned what's really going on here, but if the author's claims are accurate this certainly isn't the story of someone fresh out of college guy working a mindless data entry job just barely scrapping by.
