@toofunnymemes I assume if he does not continue in the family business his parents will cut him off?
If that is the case then it will be tough as I have heard similar stories. But there is hope. If your friend wants to go to college and needs the support then maybe he can work part time in the family business while taking some classes at the college.
Or bring in some other source of income on his own to fund their schooling.
I believe that his desire to go to school should be honored since that's what he really wants to do but the decision to continue offering financial support rests with his parents. Tell your friend to explore his options but don't give up on his hope to go to college. Nothing is impossible.
I hope that can help him.
Yah it sure can help him. The issue is that the family job takes a lot of time, and this would not give him much time to attend college. Although I spoke with him, and he said he plans on working in the family business for like 2years more to raise money for his school fees, and then go to college from there.
