<p>milkyway… I think that there is a growing consensus that doesn’t want to see you commit good money towards a 4 year college until your son has demonstrated some tangible growth and responsibility. He needs to really grasp that he played a major role in how his grades turned out last year. There will always be “strange upheavals” in life (at home, at school, and at future jobs). </p>
<p>This reminds a bit about my b-i-l. He has a PhD in Particle Physics - but he hasn’t worked in 25 years. He claims that it “bothered him” so much when the union workers at his job when on strike and he had to cross the picket line. The “stress” was too much so he quit and never went back to any job ever again. so… here is a guy with a PhD and he’s only worked 2 years in his life. Talk about not being able to handle any stress, change or upheavals… no resiliency at all… But also he is someone who was looking for an excuse…</p>
