I don't really care if my kids go to uni/college or not. If they know what they want and they're happy with it then that's good enough for me. Aden is just about to start high school next year and knows he wants to do something with animals. Maybe be a vet, or a wildlife officer. For either he'll probably have to go to uni, but if not, there are plenty of jobs he could do with animals without going to uni.
Mav is still very much undecided about what he wants, but I'm sure he'll think up something good. At the moment he mostly says he wants to do some kind of science (like his step dad) but that could very well change. He sometimes says he wants to be an environmental manager like Dazza, and at other times a marine biologist/scientist.
I think both of my boys have the brains to do whatever they like, and they also have the brains to decide how to go about it. As long as they're making reasonable decisions when the time comes we'll support them, and if they're making stupid decisions, we'll either kick their arses or make them get a job.
