My son is a Freshman at a big State school who is on a three year Type 7 AFROTC scholarship, with additional school funds for room and board. After only 6 weeks in the program he has become disillusioned, mostly because he realized that he does not want to major in Atmospheric Science that the Air Force wants him to, but he wants to major in Geology....which is not on the list of technical majors. He is also having difficulty with time management, only getting a few hours sleep a night. It sounds like he is ready to quit, and I feel like he is making a rash, emotional decision. I think he should stick with it a while after all he has gone through to get these scholarships. I know money should not be the only incentive for staying in....but he will have to take out loans for over 100 thousand if he quits ROTC. How long do you think he should stay in if he is miserable, and is there a chance he could contact the AF to see if he can major in Geology, or would that be a waste of time?
