[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son decided college wasn't for him. After a year off (while working), we know it is important to get him back on track, but are not sure where to turn for advice. Any suggestions on a counselor or a some sort of non-conventional degree program? He is intelligent, just is done with sitting in a classroom full time. [/quote] What was he studying/what is he interested in? This is my worst nightmare. [/quote] I'd rate "being addicted to heroin in some shithole apartment in DC with an illegitimate kid or two that isn't cared for" as worse. The problem with 10:26's advice is that it seems most companies want a college degree to work in the mailroom these days. Why? There's an over-abundance of liberal arts majors with no high-demand (usually STEM-related) skills for the jobs that really and truly require a college degree, as opposed to a demonstrated track record of willingness to work/learn on the fly.
