And I’ve said this a million times: Pursue what you love, son, and you will make a go of it even if you have to live in a box under the freeway for while. Your undergraduate education will be our last financial gift to you. Our income has nothing to do with yours. You will make your own way in the world and build your own wealth just as your dad and I did.
Our son was hell bent on cinematography until his junior year of high school. Then he chose the military. It’s his life to do with as he pleases, and we always encouraged him to follow his passions knowing that the life of his mind will take care of the life of his wallet. The size of that wallet is immaterial (and has nothing to do with ours).
