[quote=Anonymous]My nephew left college after first semester - his issues were slightly different, but in general, I think he was fine socially but too good socially - was having a good time with friends but not focusing on academics, didn't love the school part, wasn't passing most of classes. He wasn't really an academic kid and attend a safety that has a low graduation rate. I think he had poor peers (not focused on school) and because he wasn't focused, he didn't devote the time needed.

Anyway, he moved home for a bit and his parents said he needs to work a full time job. He did that and is now moved out with friends and is self supporting.  took about a 9 months to get a job and find a place he could afford.  I'm not sure he has a "career" but he is supporting himself and living independently.  To be fair, he is more self supporting than my kids (for whom I pay tuition and living expenses while they attend college).  I think he is fine, honestly.

I don't think he had the independence issues OP is talking about - school just wasn't for him.[/quote]
