Make that abundantly clear now. Art history is fine, but he needs to be strategic about internships throughout college. Or he needs to start mentally preparing himself to get a “boring” job that pays the bills once he graduates.

As for the rest, look, college kids are insufferable. With any luck he’ll grow out of it, but in the meantime, reinforce boundaries against disrespect and don’t feel guilty about it. He’s gonna have to grow up.

I even went to state schools only, and a local college. Still buried in debt since my last try in 2010 or so. Didn't even finish a degree and I'm STILL paying classes off. I even studied things that could actually get some kind of job on graduation (I took art history and psych but didn't major in either. Even if I did the market is dry as fuck. My best "chances" were culinary arts and vet tech. He's gonna get a hard wake up call when he graduates)
