How early to start working on college credits?

Unfortunately, although this was once true, I think college campuses have ceased being a great place to gain maturity (quite the opposite). In my opinion, young people should spend as little time (and money!) there as possible and then find maturity with real work in the real world as soon as is practical. In fact, a part-time job while still in high school is better for gaining maturity than campus life.
