<p>Okay, I don’t want to be mean, but this is my view Look, I know that it is difficult for you see things the way we do because you come from another generation, and it’s good that you know that science/math degrees are good right now, but you need to understand your son’s needs, too. If he is not good at those topics, he could fail out of college, or worse, get a career that makes him unhappy. You can’t take care of your son forever or tell him what to do as an adult, but you’re his mother and you need to support his decisions that will make him happy. And if he does fail, you need to be there for him. My parents are too poor to help me pay for college at all, but I think if you have the funds to do it, you should help him because if you really love him, you will help him follow his dreams.</p>
