He's boy --- he needs to do the hard stuff to find out if he is actually a man -- one of the few. Mathematics is nearly always where you find out. (Occasionally some do the science w/o the mathematics like Einstein). Girls seldom get the push, but smart boys have to put themselves up against it (you didn't want to push him did you?) There's always time for art and journalism and acting if it turns out he isn't one of the elect. There is something that takes place in these years that is a kind of click -- everything falls into place and you see clearly into your intellectual future, get some hint of how far you can see and understand how you see wrt your "peers." Encourage him (or better get his father to explain it to him) that he has to find out just how far his mind can grow and stretch.
