He thinks he has it all figured out, but I’m not so sure.
Whatever Mark’s reasons for not wanting to go to college, pushing him or dragging him is a terrible idea. Coding bootcamp may indeed be the right path for him . A good one isn’t cheap, but many of them offer deferred tuition based on job placement or an income-sharing arrangement. The bottom line is that this is his life, not yours, so it’s his decision to make. Will it be a mistake? Will he be sorry he didn’t go to college? Maybe.
If what this comes down to is that you don’t feel comfortable funding the startup cost of his attending a bootcamp, or supporting him in other ways while he pursues this plan—for example, allowing him to continue to live with you while he does—you are of course free to tell him that he’ll have to find full-time work and earn the money himself.
