I’m sorry to be blunt, but your son is an ADULT now. He needs to learn to grow up. In college, you are expected to be auto-didactic and self-sufficient. You can give him suggestions and advice, but you need to stop hand-holding him because you will not be able to live his life for him in the “real-world”. You can want it all for him, but he needs to want it for himself! Sure, he may very well be bright and talented, but if he does not put that natural ability to practice, it means nothing. As Thomas Edison said, “Genius is 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration.”
