I think I posted before about my dental hygienist. Dropped $100K for a 4 year retail management degree and then...oh, crap, nights/weekends/holidays... So she spent $5K for her hygienist paper. Someone should have talked with her sooner.
The girl is nice enough. He'll be the one effing up because of being 17 years old. 2 things on my mind at that age and school/education weren't in the mix.
It's hard for a 17 year old to give up guaranteed poon, really really hard. What I'd do is take him on a tour of the college you want him to go to and let him see all of the potential poon that awaits him. His choices have been really limited so far but college really opens up the poon opportunities to a level he will likely never see again. But I'm sure he is in "love", which tends to happen when you first start getting your pecker wet on the regular, so that will have to be overcome.
