Is he leaning one way or another? If I was his age I’d lean toward something entrepreneurial. Trades maybe. Bright kid, he’ll do well but white collar is dicey. The changes we are seeing in our lifetime are dizzying.

While it’s true that someone with a weapon could kill a bunch of people on a plane even if they can’t use it as a missile, that’s also true of every mall and restaurant in the US.
