[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a student like this, an apprenticeship with a trade may be better. I'm serious. I think we tend to discount those programs as being for kids who are less high-achieving or come from lower income/no college backgrounds, but I think they can turn a low to mid achiever into a successful tradesperson or entrepreneur with high incomes and great benefits. [/quote] Agree that exploring this option makes sense. I'd also see if the boy had any interest in serving in the military prior to college -- I know that suggestion will strike folks on this board as heresy, but it's a great long-term move for lots of kids with this profile.[/quote]
