The Ingenuity of the Youth

In a brief but content rich phone call with a well-known Minnesota CEO I had the pleasure of hearing this fact.

A Nebraska student essentially sold a "bond" via Ebay on their 30 year future earnings.  Now that is one interesting way to finance a college education!   WHY didn't I think of that?

Your thinking, "how much could this kid raise?"  A cool $1.1 MILLION, that's how much!  All I can say is WOW and KUDOS to you.  That's about as free market as you can get.
