Hey, SWGB, don't pressure the kid.We made the mistake of allowing ourselves and others to make daughter feel pressured to do what she was brilliant enough to do, not what she wanted to do. She finally told us last summer what she has always wanted to do -- to major in art. She's now the happiest that we've seen her since she was a child.
Oh it was a joke. We had a Latin teacher at my high school and due to budget cuts they actually sent out a letter to parents asking that only students considering a medical or law career to sign up for Latin.
I'm pretty sure that my opinion has any bearing anyway. If he wants to get a Bachelors in Basket Weaving go for it kid. Be the best basket weaver you can be. I don't think that career choice would go over too well with his mother. ;-)
