Whoa, SJ, I think you misunderstood me. Please read my other comments as well. The matter was not just going to a college, but his psychological well being and financial responsibility.
As I said before, he is afraid of being with people whom he doesn't know well, and he's got 7 members of family ( not including me ) to support. Also he has a job that usually ( 99.99%) requires a college degree.
By the way I'm not going to push him anymore. In fact he told me that he would like to talk about it more with me.
Thank you for your posts. I grew up in a culture where everyone thinks you should go to a college right after highschool. But I think I can understand better. Now I have to keep this secret from my parents and brothers. ;-)
