A short autobiographical excerpt from a YouTube video by Charles Cormier describing his transition from law school (initially aiming to be a sports agent) to entrepreneurship. While working as a payroll salesperson for ADP after law school and having a child during law school, he quit over a $17,000 raise dispute, founded a company called Ichecks out of his mother's kitchen at age 24, and sold it at 28.

Yeah. Started my first company after law school, went to law school to be a sports agent and had a kid in law school. And so when I was 24, ultimately decided not to pursue law school or pursue sports agency. Had a law degree and had to make some money. So I was selling payroll for a company called adp, which is an international payroll and HR company, and through that process was very successful. Selling the payroll. Got into a disagreement with my boss over how soon I would get my next raise and quit my job over $17,000 and started my first company out of my mom's kitchen called Ichecks, with the idea that I could go and sell the product. And so started my first company at 24 and I sold it at 28. Congrats on that. Late Congrats.
