Food for thought.
I want my kids to have experience working for someone else.
Let someone else pay them to learn... as long as you reinforce to them what they should be learning while they are working for someone else.
Business practices. Management practices. Wins. Losses. Business process. Customer relations.
Let someone else pay for their education. Not all 18 year olds are ready to own a business, but nearly all 18 year olds are capable of drawing Fast Lane life lessons from working in just about any job.
I was fortunate enough to have some large companies pay me to learn lessons on their checkbook that would have sunk me on my own.
My vote, if there is not a clear cut path towards a fast lane success today, is get him to go out into the world, experience some hard knocks and work in a job --- almost ANY job --- and that will better equip him to understand how to blaze his own path later on.
My 21 year old daughter runs a business. My 19 year old son does not. My 21 year old daughter is also interested in the "family" business. My 19 year old son is not. They both get fast lane concepts. They both will be successful. They both will be driving their own destiny. They're two separate people, taking two separate approaches towards learning how life works.
Both will get there some day. My hope is your son does as well. There almost has to be some degree of life experience to draw from in order to "get it."
