[quote=Anonymous]First there's nothing wrong with NOT going to college - not everyone IS cut out for it SN's or not!!  That said...don't write it off either at this point because your DC2 could mature a lot in the next year or more.  I'm assuming he's maybe a sophomore or even younger??  One thing that will be good for him to see is that DC1's experience is not JUST living on your own and partying.  Make sure DC2 sees that classes are longer and fast paced and there's a lot of independent reading and work to do that DC1 has to complete.  If DC2 does go to college he will be able to have academic accommodations and help based on his IEP so be sure to keep that up to date in your transition planning also.  Attend college and career fairs with DC2 so that he sees options - including non-college options!   Help DC2 figure out his interests and passions because if he follows them towards a career (as opposed to $$ he can make or what others think he should do) he'll be more likely to succeed - both in the training be that college or not AND in the career itself.[/quote]
