[quote=Anonymous]There's a shortage of plumbers these days, OP. Most of the trades (electrician, carpenter, mechanic, etc.) are short of workers. If your DC likes any of these things, he can make a good living. College is NOT for everyone, and it's not a measure of success. I feel really badly for the C students whose abilities and interests like outside of the academic realm. DCUM reinforces this "Harvard or Bust" mentality that pervades this region. Your child does NOT have to go to college, but at some point he might want to. Encourage him to follow his interests and don't let him feel like a failure for not excelling in school. There are so many, many other ways to succeed in life. [/quote]
