School was the obvious answer for my son for now. It may not be for some others. It is still his dream to make it to the bigs some day. I am proud of what he has done so far in school.
Some things to think about:
Age and maturity
Grades in school and where he has been accepted for college
MONEY (signing bonus), including school tuition
Drive to succeed in the minor leagues
