[quote=Anonymous]I keep hearing from parents of juniors and seniors who are annoyed because their kids won't even entertain the idea of a summer job. These are really successful (on paper) kids who have gone multiple summers sitting around while saying they're going to get a job, and they never do. So I think your son is way ahead of the game. He might have ADHD and might not have a deep passion, but he is finding the energy to make constructive plans for his future. Yes, he is probably taking himself out of the running for a T20 school, but who cares? He has the executive functioning skills to do well at other colleges and seems motivated to be working. That's more than plenty of parents can say about their kids, and having a job at 25 is way more important than being willing to run after a ball or run a club. Don't worry![/quote]
