Since he likes to work on cars, just learn to be an auto tech. Since they are pushing kids to college there will be very few of them and they will be commanding big bucks with no debt.
I have a friend who was an oncologist (retired now). He said that just before he retired, his son was making more than he was. His son is a plumber. Fact!
Parents and I went with scholarships and loans for me (and I am presuming my sisters after me), but college was cheaper 50 years ago and the loans smaller when I finished (as I recall US$6000 something). I paid for grad school myself as I went to night school for same and worked full time in accounting – which is what I had studied in college. Still am working in accounting, though EXTREMELY part time these years. It was a good investment for me.
Husband’s college was paid for by his maternal grandparents ( he and younger sister only grandchildren) as was his grad school. He studied psychology and then rehabilitation counseling and supported us well (his income higher than mine most of our marriage) with same – he also still is also working in same, also EXTREMELY part time these years.
It depends on where one goes to college how much they have to borrow – a public college is much cheaper than a private one and same is much cheaper than a “name” school and if it good investment depends on what one studies – something like women’s or ethinic studies – not a good income investment.

The pay cheques from Auto Y Rod not good enough, Baldo? Oh, that’s right, that’s going towards your Chevy Impala fund.

Save the money, learn a trade, and watch as the heavily in debt college graduates pay you!

There’s going to be way more dough in having a trade. Like automobile mechanic, for example.

You see that half-finished car in the driveway? That’s your college fund.
