While that's true to an extent Sindo, I don't completely agree with you. Unlike EQ or other hobbies, the characters in this show are pursuing a professional career. In that respect, not going to high school/college isn't that odd, as many of the most successful business people, professional athletes, and artists in the last 10 years have done the same. Look at the leaders in the computer industry, for example. And its not uncommon for figure skaters and gymnasts (both usually quite young) to delay or drop school to pursue Olympic & professional careers. I actually quite respect people who know what they want to do with their lives and are willing to dedicate themselves whole-heartedly to the pursuit of that dream.
