[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What career options are there for underachievers? Anything they can go and study, vocational careers? Even the local community college wants a gpa of 3.0, and that is not going to happen. We do not have money to throw at tutors right now, so it looks like it is not going to improve. There has to be some opportunities[/quote] Retail jobs. Front office work. And if the person is interested in community college but can't get admitted for a full-time, degree-seeking path, ask about what can be done as probationary work. One or two courses at a time for a semester or two with good grades can often be sufficient to be allowed to begin a degree seeking program. The "underachiever" in question needs to decide what they want to work towards. Often vocational careers (e.g. electrician, beautician) have a hands-on as well as an educational component which can help people who really aren't academically focused. [/quote]
