I only heard about it after it happened. Guy in the last year of high school said his parents wanted him to go to college but he probably wouldn’t because that was “stupid” or something similar. Girl in the group blew up on him because she desperately wanted an education and couldn’t afford tuition basically anywhere. She called him spoiled and selfish, I believe.
I think I might be misunderstanding. If he felt he wasn't smart enough to get anything out of college, isn't it better that he not go? Like it seems more spoiled to go to college without the expectation you'd get the degree. You're taking a spot from someone who thinks they'll graduate, wasting your parents' money, and delaying becoming a self sufficient adult for no pay off.
He didn’t think he wasn’t smart enough for uni, he thought the concept of uni was stupid.
Which still, yeah, someone who thinks that way probably shouldn’t go to uni. But it’s not quite the same.
Ah yeah, I was misunderstanding.
