[quote=Anonymous]The first thing I would do is not make a big deal of it. College didn't work out so I would go about finding a job - any job. Get the book "The Defining Decade." The idea is that you just take the next step and seize and build on opportunities as they arise. The student is lucky unemployment is low so he/ she should be able to find something. Then, after kiddo is settled in a job, if they have an interest in a career path or in returning to a local college, then you look into it - a year or two or more in the future. In the meantime, he/ she should work at this job and make the most of it. If kiddo is depressed, a counselor might help. It would at least help sort out emotions about leaving school. But it's entirely possible that not being in college is the right path. [/quote]
