Similar situation with Son No1 here. Whilst as his dad I wished to support him, he decided that even after further (expensive) studies, he still potentially could be in the same place.

The question really is not whether you should fund him, but his potential loss of earnings from continued study over the same period.

It's ok being highly qualified, but you are still eventually going to have to convince someone that you are worth the higher earnings potential, and without any workplace experience.

My advice would be to re-assess his aspirations & perhaps shift focus. Nothing beats the reality of workplace experience for employers in the end.

Any use?
