[quote=Anonymous]My husband is in software sales and has been for most of his professional life.  His compensation varies based on commission but in good years he has made $800k. Regular years were around $300k.  He is now a VP and over the years has hired lots of young kids out of college. The best ones had the exact personality you are describing your son having and were go-getters who understood the goal. The worst ones, because they didn’t have a strong work ethic, didn’t listen or follow advice, and thought they deserved more money and promotions even though they hadn’t achieved their numbers, were kids from elite schools.

Help your son find a school where he can get a BA. In anything. Marketing, business, management, history, whatever. With a BA every corporate level sales job out there is open to him. So are many money management jobs. 
There are schools where he can do well. Try George Mason or Community college to start if you think he needs your support. Hire a college specialist to identify colleges that will offer him supports and ensure he is staying on path. [/quote]
