[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You asked about careers. I'll include some info re college just in case. I'm not saying college needs to be important to you. Our son attending/graduating from college was important to us and he was not a good student - ending HS with only Algebra 2 and 2 yrs of foreign language pass/fail, no honors or AP class though offered. A good option is finding a university with has College of Communications since degrees require very little math - ditto for a College of Agriculture, College of Fine Arts, sometimes a Criminal Justice type major. The important thing is reading the online undergraduate catalog very, very carefully. And for admission to college (for the low performing student) is watching the high school gpa very carefully (which will probably be unweighted). Regular college prep classes are fine. A gpa of 2.5+ is fine too. Finding an appropriate university will take alot of research and there must be a willingness to look at lesser-known schools in less familiar locations. [/quote]

Good advice.  Can I ask some additional questions.... Where did he end up going?  Has he graduated yet?  What do his job prospects look like?[/quote]
