How about a combination of the above? Sign up for a limited number of classes whilst trying to “adult” on the side with a 10-15hr/wk part time job. Often, like in my case, having a less than stellar job may make him ask “do I want this or am I willing to work at school for more?” At least with part time he’s still engaged with school and academics and friends. Having a community of learning should encourage more learning and excitement versus sitting in his parents basement perusing CP forums.

Also… yeah I know of a few people who started post secondary on their parents dime (and or loans). Having one’s own skin in the game goes a lot further. I had a free ride first year but after f’ing it up the folks cut me loose. It took some pretty stressful times, crappy part time work, and deep thinking to realize that nobody else can do the work for you. Many Kids need more maturity and their butts kicked. Even if they don’t know not at the time.
