[quote=Anonymous]Could you negotiate goals for college and goals for the business, so that a feasible plan is agreed upon? For example, maybe he takes a light (but full time) course load, but also sets limits how much he makes or how many customers he takes on. Would another option be getting some type of credit for the business? Like writing a business plan or testing marketing approaches? I am trying to channel, rather than forbid his passion. I don't know that you have described a kid who is not ready. Rather, he seems torn between this thing that he likes and is good at (and rewards him very tangibly), and the thing that he is expected to do (but which offers little short-term gratification). I would NOT want a kid like this to take a year off, because if the business takes off, he may never return. [/quote]
