But I can see where you're coming from.... my parents tried to push me in certain directions (many moons ago) and I went the opposite out of sheer spite. I know now that they were bad decisions, but you couldn't have convinced me at the time.

Make a bet with him. Give him a year to find a job that could sustain him for his life with an income potential that he might see with a college degree. If he can, fine. If you're the one who would have paid for his college, you forfeit one year's college expense to him ... if he doesn't then he has to seriously look at more schooling of some sort.
