[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a tough age bc the real differences between people become apparent when they are all out of school. Some pull ahead into grad school and jobs and marriages and other alike your son are just stagnating and get left behind. For some reason some people lack the fear to pull ahead and plan and it is really deadly. He might do well in something really structured like a professional program that’s long and has a good payoff like dentistry, veterinary school, or really anything that will set him up with a profession and bring him into contact with same aged peers in a context where he can basically masquerade as a man with a plan until he has one. Hopefully he gets himself together along the way or finds a purpose by observing other people and paths. I think it’s very depressing to leave college and enter some random job without knowing anything about different career paths or having any dream or plan.[/quote]

All of this. At a certain point you realize it’s not just circumstantial and not caused(perhaps exacerbated) by social media comparisons. OP doesn’t mention anything about education or vocational training, so it’s difficult to advise.[/quote]
