Should I concentrate more on my lessons or is it good for me to think about ways for getting rich at the age of 18 ?

If you want to become rich, now is the best time to do it, but don't expect immediate results. You are more passionate about things than older people, and that is a good thing. That's what gives you drive, but be careful not to gamble and make calculated decisions. I would go to college to educate yourself and learn how to set goals and achieve them(plus, there's a lot of chic's). Most people don't realize that education is actually an act of leisure, in an economic theory way. But there is also higher earning potential. And I mean potential, not a guarentee. My friends didn't go to college, but instead picked up a trade or license(ex: selling insurance...) and they make more than myself who has graduated.

Concentrate on your studies, and think about how to get rich only in your spare time. Most "get-rich schemes" are ill-thought and don't work unless you have this amazing idea. Bill Gates already had won a business competition at the age of 15, so he was more prepared. I think you should take the normal way of getting rich, because there's a higher chance that it will work. Graduate from college/university and get a job. In your spare time, you can formulate a plan for wealth.

It's always good to think like an entrepreneur. Many people as young as 15 years old have thought of ways to create a good product or improve an existing product.
I don't think it's early but never see it as an end. You may start many businesses throughout your life. Someimtes what you thought was a great idea may be part of what you need to really come up with something even better.
Look at Gates in the early 80's. Look at Ted Turner when he had his idea about patching in TV through a cable from satellight dishes. Everyone thought they were crazy.
Benjamin Franklin said that most good ideas are at first attacked viciously... or something like that. (not looking it up)

Never to early the owner of Bizchair.com is 19 and he's a millionaire and has been in business for 4 years. You have to mix both use the lessons you learn in college to help you think of ways to make money. Let college help you to understand the world then take it by storm.

Concentrate on your studies. Part-time jobs are okay, but that degree will bring you more down the road. Even now though, always pay yourself first. Start early with a savings plan, even if it's from the part-time or minimun wage job - put 10% in savings and leave it alone.

start putting money away now. It can add up over time. Don't think of it as getting rich quick but do it over time. Look into daveramsey.com and it will help you with what you need to do.

I suggest you stay in school but that's not to say give up on your dreams and ideas. The world is build on ideas. This site offers some things you can do in your spare time (if you have any at school) but you do have to work at them to be successful. Maybe this will help you in your decison.

Hey, Bill Gates didn't graduate why should you.
Hmm come to think of it neither did I, and, well, I'm no Bill Gates.
Well there's both sides of the coin. Your choice.
