[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm generally sympathetic to such arrangements. An unpaid internship a gazillion years ago (I held a job on the side and was fortunate to be in a then low COL area) got me through doors I could have probably not knocked open on my own (especially with ZERO family connections). Yet my understanding is that employment in the sports field is pretty brutal and the jobs now skew much more towards kids with quant backgrounds, not sports management degrees. While your DH's views don't seem to align with your son's interests, your son's interests may not be so realistic. I'd probably support him with a strict understanding, perhaps even written, about the summer budget and that covering excessive spending will be on him. [/quote]
