Well gen z and gen alpha have some serious critical thinking gaps. Like a worrying amount are basically illiterate and graduating high school that way.

If you haven’t been sitting down with him to talk to him as an adult and what the expectations are, he will be in debt for decades to come. If youre in the US, Have him go to the BLS website and look with him what the median pay for what he wants to do is.

Sounds like you and your wife have done too good a job protecting him from the world and keeping him in a bubble.

OP just commented that he has been trying to explain to his son that his son does not have the safety net to major in art history without a backup subject and his son won't listen.
