[quote=Anonymous]Looking for advice from more seasoned parents. My son is a junior in high school. He’s not academic at all, learning disabilities have made school really hard for him along with pretty severe adhd. He has an IEP, some of his classes are small group classes.

I’ve been of the mind that trade school would be best for him, but he doesn’t really have any interest in any of the trades I’ve been trying to expose him too. I don’t really know that much about all the types of trades out there, just googling.

He keeps saying he wants to go to school for business but 1) what does that look like in the end 2) I don’t think he would make it through college courses. He’s not great at reading, writing, or math.

He’s very athletic, very social and makes friends easily. People like being around him. Adults as well as little kids, even peoples pets! He’s pretty savvy with buying things at a lower cost and reselling for more. He understands the stock market pretty well and has good thoughts on what’s going up and what’s going down. He’s quite good with computers but has no interest in the field. He does have a good business sense/money sense.

How can he use that strength? What would be some good options for him?
