[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, everyone.  I appreciate the suggestions.  He wouldn’t do well in the military.  The PP is right, he won’t want to follow rules he won’t want to do and although the structure would be good, he’s not mature enough and wouldn’t do well for the same reasons he hates school.

Yes, he’s bright and school hasn’t been hard.  He has not taken the most challenging courses by choice and would rather take a zero than write a paper.  It’s been a lot of pushing to get him this far.  He would do well with a hands on  physical vocational job.  We will look into some of the suggestions.

The vocational classes through FCPS have not worked out for a few reasons, schedule wise, but it sounds like we need to s[b]chedule an appointment at NOVA and just get him there ourselves.  [/b]We are early on in this process. [/quote]

+1 there are so many career focused 2- year programs at NOVA. He should review those options and see if anything appeals.

One option, if he's outdoorsy, is to look into becoming an arborist. Companies like Davey Tree and Bartlett hire entry level and train people without degrees.[/quote]
