[quote=Anonymous]I am a bit torn, because it is entirely possible that his Peace Corps service opened your son's eyes to a new career path or calling. One example would be public health. If he wants to pursue that, he needs training in it. Perhaps (especially if you have the money), compromise by telling your son that he can go if he works X hours a week or once he saves a certain proportion of the costs. That would send a message but not force him to pay penance in a field he does not care about just to make a point. You should be very proud of the choice he made to serve people who were less privileged. He gave up the comforts of US living to do that. So, he is not a spoiled, entitled brat.[/quote]
