[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His 1st year may not have been great due to the CV and all of the limitations- virtual classes, etc. that really isolated kids and he may like it a lot more now that things are more in person.
I'd encourage going back- my guess is that the kids taking a year off typically don't ever return.  If he doesn't, I agree with others that he should pay for a lot of his expenses and rent.  I have a nephew in the food industry that didn't go to college, he loved making money instead.- this was 5 years ago.  My DS just got out of college and makes double the income in his 1st job.

THIS.

OP, I'd really encourage him to return for this year and see how it goes. Maybe he could add a hospitality minor. I really think not returning this year could derail him, it happens so often. He can work at the restaurant on breaks. I think there is something else going on in the "scene" at that particular place that is driving his thought process, money, sure, but either a person, or something else. I think he might find school more fun with newfound social confidence. It will be very hard to live in a place like the DMV or elsewhere with a high COL without a college degree. If he wants to increase coursework and finish sooner, that is another route. [/quote]
