If he is a he, don’t send him to college. Better off learning how to fix things and actually not being in debt.
My oldest son (yes) exactly what we did. My youngest needs to go to college. He’s probably going to be valedictorian and has been accepted to the special school in Virginia. Either my GI bill will pay for his school or he will get a full academic scholarship.
My middle son got an esports scholarship to play video games. He is the first ever ESPN/Collegiate national champion. His school cost me $0.
BTW: here’s the highlight footage of my son (swish) winning the championship. He also is the one that created the Harrisburg team. After this he changed schools and games he plays. Got another full scholarship to another school. :-)
