[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure where to post, the college forum didn’t seem appropriate but let me know if it should moved.  I read the post of the parent asking about career options and my kid also needs help in a different way. The career and counselors at high schools have not been helpful.

He’s a junior and thinking he does not want to go to college.  He’s hated everything about traditional classes for as long as we can remember and school has always been a struggle.  Yes, he has an IEP for ADHD but it doesn’t help him hate school less.   Sometimes he thinks about maybe he could go to community college, but doesn’t know for what and says it a waste of money.  Around a 3.3
GPA. No honors or AP classes.

He loves his part time job. He likes to work and will work as many hours as possible.  He has no problem taking as many shifts as possible and is happy to go to work.

We all think some type of vocational school would be best.  DH and I went to college and support him in this.  We have no idea where to start or what fields to lead him to look into.  Yes, we know it depends on his interests but he is not ready to jump into anything that involves a lot of class time.  He needs hands on training.

Any advice? Anyone been here? [/quote]
