[quote=Anonymous]I would start by having an honest conversation with your kid. What are their concerns about college? What does she want to do instead? Tell them your concerns. Ask what their plan is. Tell them you are still weighing options, but if they are not in school (and not doing some unpaid, meaningful career activity) you will not be providing free room and board. It might be they haven't really thought it through and having them focus on details a little will help. Would they consider applying and then make a final decision the summer before? My sister started saying right before college that she didn't want to go, so my mom told her she had to move out a get a job to support herself that summer. She spent about 6 weeks sleeping on a friend's couch and working at Pizza Hut before she suddenly decided that she would go. She loved it and went on to get her Master's. [/quote]
