It would be a huge mistake to let him quit school to come back home.
Surveying will always be there for him, college will not.
Now's the time to go to school.
IF he still feels the same after graduation, Then OK, it's his choice, but right now, there really is no choice, it's just surveying for the rest of his life.
Simply giving up because something is hard, will not bring any reward.
> I disagree I consider surveying a noble Profession and will welcome him into the business . He will be transferring his credits to work on a BS in Geomatics , he not quitting anything or coping out . Unlike many young people he knows what he wants.
I am just saying that the willful narrowing of ones options is rarely a good thing. Peace.
Is the scholarship the problem? It's not a full ride and even if it was, an athletic scholarship of any kind is almost like having a part-time, if not a full-time job while going to school. It can take your favorite sport and make it something you despise. Oftentimes, the degree that is obtained is nothing more than having enough classes thrown together that will pass the degree requirements. I had an employee once that had graduated from college on a baseball scholarship and he didn't have more than two classes in a subject that could be lumped together that would relate to anything.
Bottom line is that it is great that he can enter school locally for the surveying degree. Don't let him out of getting a college degree if at all possible - it's too easy to just not get back into college.
