Don't.

Just ensure that the college he chooses is one in which he has a wide
variety of options. He'll get to college, he'll make his own
decisions. The world is huge.


My goal is to make sure that if he wants to be a pilot he wants it
really bad.

I'd also want to ensure that his degree isn't aviation related so that
he has something to fall back on if he finds that aviation isn't as
satisfying as he expected or if he has a medical problem that costs him
his medical at some point.
