I think we may have come up with a solution. Thanks to some posters I looked up auto tech programs that are bachelors programs and found that is close to us which was amazing as there are only 5 listed in the country. It would give him the first 2 years doing hands on and the second 2 years as the business/degree part of it. He’ll do what he likes and get the degree too. He’ll be at a university and have that part of the experience and can live at the dorms if he wants too. It’s out of state for him but his dad lives in that state which gives him in state tuition which will be nice. If he decides in the end he doesn’t like the hands on stuff, he can apply the credits towards another major. His mom seems to be on board with the idea too as he applied today!! So we’ll see what happens but I already feel better. He’ll get a degree, be guaranteed a job when he graduates and do what he thinks he likes right now. If he’s wrong he’ll still have the degree instead of just the technical school. We’ll see…
