I'm sure many of you have been the student in this scenario and some of you like me are now the parent. Any Suggestions ???

It depends what he wants to do with his life.. Does he want to work for someone else or run his own business?

My uncle a self made rich guy once told me.. "College teaches you how to work for someone else."

If he wants to work for someone else, sure go to college, it can never hurt.. However if he wants to do his own thing, then tell him to do it and screw school.
