That’s the kind of deal parents can work, if they’re willing to make the effort. My oldest boy also had a lot of liberal arts colleges after him (his math was better), but he wasn’t interested in moving off to the wilds of New England or the Upper Midwest.
He did two and a half years at our community college, and then went into the business school of UNC-Charlotte (local branch) as a junior. He’ll graduate this summer with his degree in Marketing, and then *leave home*!!!
He probably would have loved a liberal arts school, though. His transcript is full of things like Literature of Modern Latin America and Perspectives on British Colonial India. It’s all fodder for someone in marketing!
Good for your son! He should do very well out in the world.
