<p>^^ He is strongly thinking about Philosophy. I don’t want him to have to go back down the road.</p>
<p>He is very strong in Math & Engineering. Loves the building of stuff. Finds the math very easy. </p>
<p>I don’t want to push Engineering - I just strongly suspect he’ll ride around the block in undergrad and come back to engineering down the road. My job, esp given our limited finances, is to be sure the road remains open to him without $100k toll booth.</p>
<p>Momof NEA - I do think he is immobilized. His friends have very clear paths - passion for A, not B of good at C, horrid at D. My kid is a jack of all trades. Good enough at just about anything except creative writing. He just doesn’t have a passion. And to boot, his friends are very focused, very talented. In comparison, my kid is very good, but not the great status. He is a great musician, but his friend is a professional musician aiming for Julliard. He needs to find normal kids…</p>
