I have a dilemma that I'm really struggling with and I was hoping for some opinions.
Ds1 is 17. He's just done a year at college and has done really well. He's been working 30/40 hrs a week in a job he loves, for the last month or so.
He now says he doesn't want to re-enrole at college and he can get a guaranteed 35hrs a week at work. On the one hand, if he doesn't want to be at college, he won't do well. On the other hand, he can still do 30hrs a week at work and do his last year at college.
I'm worried he'll be closing off his later options but he's in an industry where, rarely, you can work your way up.
I said I would speak to him properly next week about it to see his point of view (I'm away atm), but I really don't know what to think.
