What's wrong with getting good grades? What's wrong with going into Computer Science? What's wrong with using what you were born with to the best of your ability? What's wrong with wanting to change the world? What's wrong with you people?
Nothing's wrong with that. But if flying is REALLY what he wants to do then he may have to sacrifice something to get there. That's all folks are saying -- not to focus so much on school that you don't get to do what you really enjoy. It seemed to me like he didn't want to hear that and got extremely defensive rather than simply explaining that his real priority was education. Now I was a kid not too long ago too and it's understandable. But it's still going to rub folks the wrong way. I don't think anyone meant to harm him but just to humble him a bit.
