Thank you for your input Perna... I am giving all that you said some serious thought before I bring the matter back up with my husband.

(a little extra info on the subject)

We have secured a private loan (in my son's name with co-signer) to cover all college tuition and for our son to live on campus with food, gas, living expenses and basic household bills covered... our son will be paying half of the loan back and we will be paying the other half back.

BUT now I am wondering if we should still allow our son the same benefits the loan was originally gotten for since he is no longer interested in living on campus... verses him keeping his job to cover his personally spending, or should the fact that our son is partially responsible for half the loan hold more clout when deciding what is done with some of the money?

With that info added... do you think he should still be asked to keep him job?
