[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a below average student. His SAT score was a 900. He was a B/C student all throughout school. His greatest weakness and where he struggled the most was with Math. He is going off to college. I am thrilled that he is going to college. We all thought about the military or college and he landed on college. However, we are having a difficult time figuring out a major. He knows that he wants to be successful (financially). He knows that he does not want to be a teacher. He knows he does not want to take a lot of classes in Math. Could anyone help point us in the right direction with careers/majors? We and he knows where he stands academically and what he is capable of. I fear that he will choose a degree in which he will not be successful in and it will be defeating for him. [/quote]

One of my best friends had worse grades and barely made it out of HS. His GPA was sub 2.0. SAT score in the high 800s and he had to go to night school classes to graduate on time. His plan was initially to enlist in the Marines.

He graduated magna cum laude from UMD with an Accounting degree after 2 years at PGCC. Got his CPA a year or two later and owns a small business. I used to joke that I always thought he was dumb until undergrad. Your son is probably just a late bloomer and has yet to connect with the material he's learning. [/quote]
