[quote=Anonymous]OP here - my son doesn't want to join the military because he's afraid that he'll get sent to the front lines of fighting someone else's war (and overall, he's not too crazy about the political situation right now).  Sorry not trying to make things political - just showing his point of view.

Regarding college, he just seems adamant about not going and overall finds most of the classes that you are required to take useless.  A lot of this is just the mentality of a 16 year old.  However, I admit that I am impressed that he is at least trying to set up a game plan for the future by learning about and studying for his certifications.  He has begrudgingly told me that he is willing to explore possibly attending community college and getting an associates degree, but he is against going to a 4 year unless absolutely necessary.  In fact, he asked that we put the money for his college towards his first home instead.  Sometimes, given how difficult it is for kids to get a job and buy a home, I'm wondering if he's correct in his thinking.  I'm hoping that things will turnaround - and hopefully, with all the tech investment happening in NOVA there will be opportunities for him and other entry-level applicants in the near future.

Both my husband and I have post graduate degrees (law and CS) and his older sibling currently attend a 4 year college now.  So we always just assumed that our son would go.  However, I guess everyone is different.    [/quote]
