As Daisy said, we all have constraints that keep us from getting what we wish for. It's ok for you to wish that, and for him to wish it, although while we're wishing, I'd wish he said it with more compassion and thoughtfulness.

I think it's great that you went to school, and that he wants to go to school, and that you seem to have confidence in him in that and want to help him achieve it. It sounds as if you're ready and willing to support him all you can. Certainly by paying all the bills if that comes to pass, but also by helping him look at possible alternatives to achieving his goal in ways that are possible right now.
