I think this says it all. Let him find his own way. Your work was done around 8 years old.

Let him live his life the way he sees fit. He will do what is right when he is ready. If he wants to go to college, he will. If not, then, well, go figure.

I had to look up what a "hod carrier" is, apparently he's a construction laborer who carriers bricks. Never heard that term before.

Anyway, you can't inject ambition into the kid. Either he will tire of this job and aspire to something different, or he won't, there is nothing you can really do

I was a hoddy for years. Its one of the toughest jobs in construction. If your union you can make good money. Most people don't mess with hod carriers.

He's over 18; your job is done.

Get a press gang to Shanghai him. When he wakes up he'll be far out to sea.
