[quote=Anonymous]What does he want to do? College is not for everyone. That's totally okay. I have a master's degree and still make less than my brother, who dropped out of high school, did 14 years ago as a diesel mechanic. I met a waiter at Glacier NP this summer who is less than 30 and makes more in tips there in summer and in tropical locales in winter than I do at age 52. For a kid who is not prepared for college or motivated to fully engage in college coursework, going back again and again to failure is incredibly demoralizing and disastrous to someone's self concept. What is he good at? What does he have some competence in? Can you build from there?[/quote]
