[quote=Anonymous]What if your kid doesn't want to go to college because they think they can make a ton of money by being a social media influencer or some side hustles? My son has several college acceptances in hand, most with good merit $. But he is really pushing back on college because he has been sucked into the "escape the matrix" mantra of influencers like Andrew Tate. The problem is, he is not really a great personality--like I can't really see him being successful in sales or social media. He has a lot of growing up to do and has ADHD and low processing, so school is not fun for him. But on the other hand, he has some intense interests (thanks to the ADHD) that he could definitely study in college and make a career out of. He does not want a conventional 9-5 job, and I've told him that going to college does not mean he has to work that type of job. I'm so frustrated. I just can't imagine turning down all these acceptances when he does not really have a viable alternative plan.  [/quote]
