Still waiting on the boy. If he will ever make a decision!!!!
Give him a quarter. Show him how to flip it. If you think he'll want to hang onto it as a keepsake, then give him a silver dollar.
PS I am a Citadel grad and volunteer to talk to High School students and parents interested in this college, but I try to make it very clear this school is not for everyone especially out of state students with financial needs who are not taking a STEM degree. For those interested in engineering, math or science, computer science, etc - it can be an outstanding choice. The small class size, full professors only teaching classes and great reputation of the college, is truly an asset when looking for a job - or a military scholarship/career.
Depending on the cost of tuition, he may need more coins.
I would add to what others have mentioned and say that a MARKETABLE DEGREE is the biggest priority in this difficult job market; History, English and Psychology degree holders are a nickel a dozen these days and usually require at least a Masters to offer much job opportunity unless you are planning a military career. The key is in STEM and a few other in demand programs like Criminal Justice, no point in spending the money on an out of state education unless the degree and the school can help you make it out in the world.
As an English major, I find this both incredibly offensive and highly apropos LOL! There is something to be said for pursuing a degree that interests you. I want my DS to enjoy what he learns and make it applicable to a future career. Sometimes we forget that education is important for internal satisfaction, not just a means to an end.

Absolutely agree!! It's about DS/DD finding their paths!! The english program at VT is outstanding and world-class (in the real sense of those words--take a look at the faculty): very good professors and classes (VT's summer english programs helped me get a minor in English as a visiting cadet from VMI)
Well after many many days of deliberation, looks like he wants VTCC.
