He's not destined for an Ivy League school or anything but currently, he has loose plans to move to Southern CA (hopefully with one of his buddies who will probably be attending UCLA or something) and attend a community college for two years and transfer over after that to a 4 year college.
He might be able to go straight to a state college but I'm cool with the community college idea. I know more and more parents who's kids COULD easily get in to the UC system who are opting instead to spend the first two years at a community college....for the cost savings. It makes sense if you're concerned about racking up student debt etc.
We haven't exactly figured out what level of support we'll provide but if he's attending school full time, we'll be helping him out...probably more the first year and then piling some more expectations on him.
That said, I have NO problem with the military and in fact, if he showed any inclination or uncertainty about what to do, I'd absolutely steer him that way. Of course, he's not actually allowed to go overseas or anything but other than that, I'd be delighted if he joined up.
