[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe if you take her to a US Army recruiting station / office, she'll find motivation to apply to college.

Also, collect job applications from fast food restaurants and retail stores in addition to apartment lease applications, then let her choose which apps she fills out.[/quote]

What do others think of this approach? Viscerally I love it, but also know that was what motivated me to go to college as I knew those were my life choices - as they were for everyone else in my universe - if I didn't go to school.

One of my DCs appeared to be unmotivated about filling out college apps. I made a few suggestions, discussed strategies, then said "you must really love my face b/c that is what you will be looking at every morning across the kitchen table if you do not go away to school." Turned it 3 EA, 2 RD, and 1 ED app by 11/1 a few years back and admitted to ED. [/quote]

I don’t like it.  If she’s not interested in the military you are wasting everyone’s time.  Why do that to the recruiters?  My younger brother wasn’t sure and had no plan and that was a passing thought but he wasn’t serious so my father sat him down and they watched Saving Private Ryan.   That was just as effective since he didn’t really want to join.

Congratulations to OP!  I’m glad she got her applications in with a little help![/quote]
