This is fun to think about... I'd already thought about how Steemit can make a huge difference to people in developing nations, but I hadn't considered how it would make a difference to those people in developed nations who are sometimes prohibited from working.

Imagine a 14 year old child who starts developing his writing abilities, and after a couple of months, he's earning hundreds or thousands of dollars a month in his spare time. He might decide pretty quickly that school isn't for him, or perhaps he will have a great way to fund his higher education.

It's a new and exciting world out there.
