Dear Anita,
Being a bank teller is not such a poor choice, nor is holding down a second job, I mean REALLY, two jobs! I went to college and dropped out and became a banker then was continously promoted because of my determination. Sounds like your son is determined to do what he wants and all the while he Is working towards a career in film/music entertainment industry- not a path that is straight or easily recognizable as creative. None the less, handling money and being in the finance industry can take you many places and just may eventually allow him to use all the skills he aquires along the way- yes even outside of an academic institution he will continue to learn and grow. The best part is in banks they have training programs that do not cost an employee anything. You can eventually work your way into the industry you want to be in, OH the people he will meet. You are offered benefits including 50% of your college tuition depending on the company and his status as P/T or F/T, when or if he chooses to go. There are many paths Anita, he is on a good path, encourage him to climb and try not to be so disappointed.
Many paths to success in life and work
