If I had a 12 year old kid, right now, I'd take him out of school. I wouldn't homeschool him either. He already knows how to read and write and he knows math. He'd never have to go to school again.

I would teach him how to shoot pool and play poker. The time he would be spending in school will be the time he practices these two games. After a few years of reading the right books, analyzing hands, working on stroke mechanics drills, he will already be talented enough to make the same money a college graduate makes.

I read awhile back that professional mini-golfers pull down $175k - $250k per year.

Look up how much Professional Eaters can make. Yes this is a real thing. They travel the country (and the world) and eat a whole shitload of hotdogs or ribs or whatever and make more than most 4 year degrees make.
