Michael Kearney just got his master’s degree in chemistry with an A-minus grade point average. Not a big deal, perhaps, unless you consider he is only 14 years old. The Murfreesboro, Tenn., boy started high school at age 5, was awarded a bachelor’s degree at 10, and is taking it all in stride: “I’m happy. I’m giddy. I’m spiffy,” he said. “Everyone’s sending me money, so I’m happy. It’s not so much the graduation, it’s the cash. The cold, hard cash.” That attitude might help to explain his main goal in life: to become a game show host on TV.
