[quote=Anonymous]This has disaster written all over it. Does he actually WANT to go away to a 4 year college/university? It doesn’t sound like he’s prepared or motivated at all. Which is fine, but now you all have to be realistic. A kid who goes off to college after being pushed and monitored by his parents isn’t going to do well, and they’ll probably end up back at home after freshman year with a 1.8 GPA, burned out and upset. I would look at your local community college for some programs where he can transition right away into work after finishing. Something like the HVAC repair program, auto body tech or collision repair, or horticulture/landscaping. If you think he might be able to handle a 4 year college maybe in his mid-20s+ when he has more maturity, he could try one of the CC health programs and then have the goal of eventually getting a BS in Nursing. Also has he looked into the military? [/quote]
