“if he wants to walk away from music, after devoting every free waking minute over the past decade, its his choice.
I’ve never met a 15 year old who knows precisely what he WILL be ABLE to do or even WANT to do 3 years from now. kids do change their minds, ya know.
So it may be up to you to do the research, and guide him, so he doesnt make a mistake that he will later regret.”
This may be where our parenting styles differ. My wife and I never guided our son on anything. He did what he did out of his own volition and research. We just paid.
The only time we pushed him was when we thought he was trying to do too much. But if he ever wanted to give something up we always supported him.
Personally, I think he should just do one major, and not much else in college. That’s what we did. We also partied a lot.
