#1 thing I will tell you from personal experience with all this. Do not ever listen to anyone or you already failed at your goal. If you think you have a chance even a 1% chance go for it until your mind tells you that you don't have it, and you'll know when its time to say that was a dream or not.
Good luck buddy
Again I am not being disrespectful school is the way to make a good living 75-80% of the time, but there is no reason to not have fun while your young and can do it. Life is not measured by how long you live its measured by how you lived in the years you lived. I would rather say I had a fun happy life doing the things I wanted to do for myself without being rich, than hanging up my riding boots at 18 jumping into college than buying a house and basically saying well thats that now I get to live the normal 9-5 job WHOO freaking WHOOO.
Carry on..
Nothing is impossible. Good luck.
Even if you pour all the resources you can muster into this, every ounce of your being, the odds are firmly against you. The odds are against anyone.
Enjoy the sport, be safe and try your best. If someone comes along and thinks your talents are so superior, and wants to pay you to race, by all means take them up on it.
Most importantly focus on this one suggestion, After that focus on showing your parents appreciation for the opporitunity to ride and race. Be grateful for everything your parents do for you, show them love back, because they love you and only want what's best for you. Your parents won't be around forever, so cherish all the memories while they're being made.

Looking at other kinds of two wheel motorsport, Josh Hayes started pretty late, and bloomed late also, but has been notching Wins/Championships for the last 5 years or so in AMA Superbike (is it even called that anymore? I'm not sure)
But the good news is that in this country you could put the same dedication and effort into real estate, a business degree, and many other things, and become a millionaire quite easily.
Choose wisely.
Working hard and having goals will be good for you and will help you with whatever comes next. Go for it.
Especially the last paragraph. Best post of this thread. "Life is not measure by how long you live its measured by how you lived in the years you lived" I don't know if you got that off google or from the heart, but that is spot on to many aspects of life, not just mx. Do what you can while you can because you never know if you're going to be around in years to come. Great post mxj621
