Well maybe its not for him ? Maybe an agreement he has a year out ?

Over in the UK they have apprentiships which one of my sons is doing, he really didnt want to go full time college so we worked out that with an apprentiship he can have money ..... and learn a qualification...... everyone happy !

He earns a fair wage working in a Company four days a week which does welding, and on Fridays he goes to college to do the paper work on a welding course. The course last for three years and at the end he will be a qualified welder which is a very good job and pays very well.

With the money he earns he pays a percentage to my mum (who he lives with in London) the rest goes on learning to drive (he has passed now) and holidays, so far he has been to Thailand, Sri lanka and is soon going to Amsterdam and Greece. Plus many trips to Scotland to see us (he pays for half of the travling up here we pay the other half)

So all is not bad if they wont go for full time college, I understand my son would of found full time studying hard and worked with him to find a solution to the problem/hic cup in his life, ranting and raving will just drive a wedge between the two of you.
