This Belgian boy, however, is no ordinary kid. Sheldon Cooper has got some serious competition.?At the age of 8, he has graduated from high school after completing six years of study in about 18 months.
The brainy Belgian has an IQ of 145, according to his parents, and collected his high school diploma alongside 18-year-olds.
He has considered pursuing a career as a surgeon, astronaut, or working with computers ¡ª his parents are not worried either way, the BBC reported.
"If he decided tomorrow to become a carpenter, that would not be a problem for us, as long as he is happy," his father said.
If Laurent does indeed take up work with computers, he will not be the first young prodigy to employ his talents in the field. He is now picking out the best University to pursue higher studies. What a star!?
