DS wasting further education

So my DS has decided against going to uni even though his older brother has gone, in stead wanting to work. Me and DH supported this, but were concerned about the lack of extra qualifications down the road. DS is in process of signing up to the RAF but we don't think he will get any decent skills from his trade.

After lots of convos, DS agreed and we all. Agreed to some distance learning. Given DS 1000 to facilitate it, he goes off and gets it all booked. Sounds great? He has spent the money on a years study. Learning Klingon from Osric university!!! He always did love star trek. We are both fuming, its a total waste of money and if he's done it as a prank its a bloody expensive one as we can see the money has already gone to this 'uni'.

He's a grown up. Stop giving him money. Stop pushing him to persue courses of study he's not commited to.

Relax. Chill out. Spend the money you've saved on a spa weekend ora holiday or gin or something.

You're quite right BlueBug, there won't be a certificate from Duolingo. Phew! At least the OP's money isn't being wasted! Grin
