In the old days, teenagers would make their way up the business world by starting from scratch & showing business savvy selling things on the street people needed.

Now, unless they can become an instant airline mogul, or popstar, they're not interested & wind up on Big Brother in the end.

Why would those with the capital, give it on the basis of a school project, rather than a proper business plan by say, ex-management of an airline? His choice of A levels sounds a bit wishy-washy also. Maybe if he was in his 2nd yr of Uni. by now, might take him seriously - most 18 yr old wunderkids would have been by now - even I would have, had I stayed in Canada.
