While you are correct, it might also be foolish to turn down the scholarship opportunity available to him currently. If he really does have an eye for running his own business, then college with a focus on a business degree to learn the paperwork side of things would be an asset in the future.

The ideal situation would have been if he had gotten a scholarship to a college close enough to home to still run the lawn care business he has started.
