Thank you all for the information.
He started his private about a month ago at a local airport and absolutely loves it.
Thank you for all the input about the colleges. I had no idea it didn't matter what your degree is in.
It sounds like the best bet is to finish his Private, get instrument and then commercial between now and finishing his first 2 years of College. The local airport said they would hire him for sightseeing tours once he gets his commercial so he can get hours. The best part is the local JC is about 1/2 mile from the airport.
