Your son will do fine in life.

As a point of contrast I knew a guy in graduate school...
he was 32 and had never held a job. He never even filled out a W2. Never sacked groceries, flipped a burger, or even mowed a lawn.
He lived off of student loans, and parents.
Now he can't find work based on his total lack of any work experience...hehe. Interviewers have asked him, "What have you actually done for the last 15 years?"
He's a little depressed now, living in his folks basement with his 3 degrees.

I once told him to apply at the place I work, to at least get a paycheck...
He did, the resume he sent in stated he was seeking "some sort of management/executive position",
salary desired was upper thirties, which he felt was the least he would work for

.........sigh

needless to say, the HR folks had a good laugh

The biggest favor parents can do their kids is to feel like bad parents and deny them a free car, free rent, free college and free everything.
