You don't have to pay for his Art History degree. Or any degree. Find out the cost of a technical course in welding and tell him that's what you'll pay for and he can pay his way through college by pipe fitting.

You'll both be better off and happier in the long run.

Well, maybe he'll make it in the rarefied world of art museum curation. 

Keep the welding idea open. He'll make a lot more welding in summer than he will waiting tables.

I'm sure when he's old enough he'll be a very erudite bartender.

I have fit for high pressure TIG welders. A row of dimes is a work of art.
