[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What advice do you have for a kid who just flunked out of a Big 10 school? Spent two years there and came away with very few course credits. Doesn’t show much interest, motivation or ambition, but is bright. Slightly depressed, and very overwhelmed. Possibly ADHD.

Welcome constructive guidance and feedback. Career counseling? Community college? Trade school? Army? At a total loss here. Thanks in advance. [/quote]

You sound like a caring person - I'm guessing a parent to the kid. But still, I know you want what is best for the person.

Regarding military service, my very small sample of people is that it's a good thing for most individuals. It may help your person find a focus / purpose in their life. One of my friends from HS joined the Army after HS. He was not well-focused on academics in HS. We didn't have a lot of "ADHD" diagnoses in the 80s, but that's probably what it was. He flourished in the Army. He is now retired as a Colonel with a PhD. The Army paid for his college and graduate school. The transformation is amazing from 35 years ago.[/quote]
