Or maybe he won’t. I never did. I had high stats and by the time college came, I wanted to just get through it and be done with classes. I transferred schools once and finally found a place where there was a decent balance of classes, social life and where I could work part time. I was much happier after graduating and when I was working full time.

If he’s a jock, he could love a big school, the social life and the games. He doesn’t have to love learning. He has to get the degree.
