My kid is smarter than that. He was “thinking” about changing schools because the major he had entered into isn’t really in-line with what he wants to study. So I pointed out that he couldn’t afford to change schools. We had just so much put aside. He had used up 1/4 of it his first year,thus burning up that portion and loosing the significant scholarship that allowed him to go to a 4 year school in the first place. This really precluded transfer to another school if he planned on doing it without taking on debt.

Well - he found a new fit in another department at his current abode, and is even excited about it. It is a “better” fit, not perfect.

It’s amazing what reality can do!

His real goal is to “get the sheep skin” and get into the work world. He is doing several extra-curricular things to build up a resume. Next summer I expect him to have an internship in his field of study - he REALLY needs too, and he agrees. Seems that is the best way to have something waiting for you when you finish your education.
