    I love that the CEO actually looked at his resume and brought him in for a interview. So many others would have not even taken the time to look at it but he went above and beyond. This little boy reminds me so much of my son who’s 2. He’s obsessed with dinosaurs and knows all the names and has to teach me lol.

    Make him Adjunct and put him in charge of public education. We need this kind of passion to promote science literacy in the public!

      But $100 bill you think a baby has gill slits and you call it a fetus. You believe in the geologic column. You believe in the Big Bang. You believe your great-great great-great granddaddy was a monkey and his great great great great granddaddy was hot soup and rocks which came from nothing. SMH hear everything that's wrong with the school system

    My son is like this, he's mad about space. He's Moderate Spectrum Autism with a photographic memory and he's impressed teachers, principals and social workers with his knowledge about space and aircraft.

    Perhaps he could be the Junior or Assistant Curator after school or on some weekends? It's great to see such a passion in a young person. His life compass has already been magnetized! You go kid!!

    9 year old 'children' have no concept of a career and are way too fickle to commit to one.

      I hope you don't dampen some nine year olds spirit with that kind of talk. My niece wanted to be a lawyer from age seven. She worked hard in school, got scholarships, studied a year in Japan and is now a lawyer with a new York based firm. Her only change? From criminal law to trade law. She passed the bar the first time. We are all very proud of her. She knew what she wanted and she got it. All children are not fickle. They are like people that way, everyone is different. Heck I know some thirty something's that don't know what they want o be if they grow up.
