Puhleeze. Again, JMHO, but returning to college to play another year to gain"maturity", or to avoid "taking on more than you can handle too soon", is a crock of isht put up by those with a selfish interest in not seeing these guys leave their "favorite" team.
Its not a "one size fits all" scenario, that's for sure, but the examples of kids who've stayed an extra year and lowered their stock in the one profession that they've trained for their entire lives, are many and varied.
The ignorance comes when folks try to dictate the life choices of others based on their own self interests. I submit if the opportunity exists to leave, then in almost every case, the better option is to in fact do so. Will there be a coupla kids that fall through the cracks "following the money"? Of course. But people attend college to earn degrees, to enable them to increase their market value. Whether that takes 2 years, 4 years, or 8 years, is wholly dependent on the subject they're majoring in. If a 2nd year Engineering student is recruited outta SU by GE and offered a ton of money to leave before getting their piece of paper,  what...should they refuse that option because they haven't earned their degree? And again, questions of individual maturity are not what I'm talking about here. Gaining the opportunity is, in all its simplicity, the bottomline. JMHO
