Yeah, we're still paying Chizik, Barbee and who else?

Is Chizik not off the payroll yet?

Think he is now. If not, we are paying him a lot less since he took UNC job.

My son graduated from high school last Friday..
My wife and I have saved for 19 years for him to go to college. We have always wanted him to go to a big university. It is the one thing that we both missed out on. I got my Engineering Degree (EET) at a technical school/small college, my wife got her Pharmacy degree at Mercer. Neither of us went to a major university. So we saved for him to go and pretty much saved enough for him to go anywhere.
Problem is, doesn't look like he is going to college.
He just has zero interest. He got a job this week and has started working. Im praying that he changes his mind but if he doesn't, my wife and I will just have a better retirement. Posted on 5/28/15 at 10:21 pm to LanierSpots

Fear not. Hardest part of being a parent is realizing eventually that God gave the little bastards their own free will. Your son may work awhile then decide that college is for him. There is no time table.
Keep in mind you are doing great with an alternative way of generating revenue as a small business man and a fishing guide. he sees this. You showed him there is an alternative to happiness beyond college despite the fact that he needs to go for his own independence.
This shite works out. If he is a good man, good character, and knows his way around, he'll do well. (and college is not necessarily for everybody.)
We've all worked with complete idiots that had college degrees.

Well said. A college degree doesn't guarantee financial success by any means.

This is my hope. We have shown him the path that worked for both of us. And what WE feel like would be his best path. Now he must make up his own mind.
We will see. He is a great kid. Just not on the same path as I was which is hard to accept.

Don't sweat it, bro (yet). The worst place for a kid to go who DOESN'T want to go to college is to go to college.
He'll either get tired of making on the low-side of the filthy lucre scale and then be *motivated* to go to college to fix that.
Or he'll make a success of himself without a college degree.
There are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many kids these days at college who have no business being there.
In the mean time, put a time limit on the college fund. If, say, he doesn't decide to go to college within the normal four years it would take to (ideally) get a degree, tell him best of luck on his (hopefully) successful career, then you and the wife can take that money and purchase a cabin in the mountains. (Or, at the very least, make a very significant down payment.
