College does not mean as much as it once did. Everyone has to find the right path, and to be honest 70% of kids going to a four program are wasting their time. Most of what they learn they never use.

Employers are realizing that all college degree says is that you were good at taking tests. It maybe in your son's case he would be happier going to a 2 year comunity program to learn a specific set of skills.

The most successful college dropout? Try Bill Gates, he left after his softmore year.
