I think I might be misunderstanding. If he felt he wasn’t smart enough to get anything out of college, isn’t it better that he not go? Like it seems more spoiled to go to college without the expectation you’d get the degree. You’re taking a spot from someone who thinks they’ll graduate, wasting your parents’ money, and delaying becoming a self sufficient adult for no pay off.

He didn’t think he wasn’t smart enough for uni, he thought the concept of uni was stupid.
Which still, yeah, someone who thinks that way probably shouldn’t go to uni. But it’s not quite the same.
Ah yeah, I was misunderstanding.
