OP here.

There are many professional athletes in DS's sport that are currently being supported by their families.  In a lower-level professional tournament, the winner, after four days of competition, receives $2500, and it is very hard to win just one tournament.  DS wants to do this because he believes that the three years will allow him to develop his social skills and EQ while being on a professional tour by constantly meeting people around the world.  He thinks that it will help him in the long run.  He is our only child, and we have financial means to support him to chase his dream for the next three years without touching our retirement, and it is not impacting us financially.  DH wants him to do it now while he is single and without any responsibilities or obligations.

He already has a good job lined up after graduation that will pay 95k/year.  I want him to follow his dream, but with the uncertainty in the economy, I am not sure if this is the right time to do it.  That's my reason.  [/quote]
