I second the 'you can't make him' post. I moved out of my mum's place at 17. We get along better than most parent/children do and my family's big on education, I just did what I thought was best at the time. I'll probably go to college at some point and it'll be harder than it was for my sisters who did it while still living at home, but given the choice I wouldn't do any of it different. At that age you sort of have to find your own way.
If I had a say in my child's decision (when I have children) in that sort of matter though, I'd lean towards the sports career. It's a great experience, even minor league players make a decent living and college can always come later.
