RE: Should I get a pilots license?
Frown on what? Using your license to fly a plane around for the fun of it?
That's what I do with my license and rented plane and nobody frowns at me.
He hasn't asked if he should learn to fly model airplanes so I don't see what good it does to try and divert his interest or send him to college at this point. Maybe when he askes those questions then the responses would be relevant.
Just sayin'
