He is going to really become something one day. He's got a head start and enjoys what he is doing. Some parents force their kids to play piano or violin, and they end up hating it. It looks like he found that on his own and wants to do it. It's almost like when I was kid and collected baseball cards, I enjoyed it, and learned all the players and teams. Of course ball players won't get you anywhere. Presidents is the way to go.
Being able to memorize all that information at such an early age will be a great benefit. I have a really good memory, so I took it in a direction that was necessary. As air traffic controller at Pensacola Approach I was required to learn all the airspace up to flight level 210 within 50 miles of Pensacola. The 10 different sections, the 20 different frequencies, all the different military and civilian aircraft. The altitude restrictions for ground clearance and radar reception. It's a long learning period and I was only 26 when I arrived. Those without a good memory will wash out.
The point is, he can go into the medical field, aviation as I mention, computers, there are so many fields that require an extensive memory, so don't be surprised by the direction he chooses.
