Part time attendance is fine. Leaving school for a period of time is fine. A change to vocational certificate/degree is fine. Continued pursuit of traditional BA is fine. Fifteen years online to finish is fine. Never finishing college is fine too if a career path happens without. People can go back later and many many do.
The point is the family appears to think continued full-time attendance is the only path. There are many options that can work out. I am just trying to loosen the perspective up a little.
So I don’t disagree with you on one option, but full-time school when not interested or motivated while also working is not a good option in my view.
