He's stronger in Latin right now than in Greek, but it will depend to a great degree on who and what he finds when he gets to school, which professors and which research projects catch his attention. I think maybe his preference will be to become a Hellenist rather than a Latinist, but who knows?
Thanks.

sitetest: kudos to your son for choosing to go to college for an education, not a career farm.
SBM: well, you know.:)
I have a degree in Classical Studies, Latin concentration. My master’s degree is in Latin. (I got a LOT of weird looks in college, and still get them now actually)
I teach Latin and English lit in high school and I love it. My students love the feeling of superiority they have challenging modern language students in a reading contest.:)
I could have been an engineer or about anything else for that matter, but there is something about reading Latin that is just fun. Of course, I feel the same way about sitting in a deer stand, but still.:)
