I have a walking testosterone factory who (since the "legal" age of 18) decided to move in with one of his dads "buddies" after High School - He's so currently unemployed, plays video games all day and gets free movie passes from one of his buds to hang out all day with friends at the movies.

"Mom - I think I'm going to enlist in the Military - They'll teach me things I won't get anywhere else, I don't know what I want to do right now and I'll be eligible for a college education - and if I make a career out of it I can retire after 20 years at 38 and do something else if I want..."

I almost cried...

Not just from the emotional trip that every mother must make at that moment - but because he made the decision on his own (at least that's what he thinks ;0))
