[quote=Anonymous]Lots of great and thoughtful advice here, OP, especially 11:35. I have one at an expensive top 25. He thought he wanted to PhD. But after chugging along at barely a 3.0 he finally realized the research grind wasn’t for him. He adjusted his goals and we had to adjust our expectations (and candidly, our disappointment). But it’s been okay! Once we all settled into his new reality we all felt better. Now he’s actively scanning job posting sites, working with the (completely awesome) career center, and thinking about what he wants to do. It was a healthy exhale. I hope you and your son can come to that same place. Sometimes college is just checking the sheepskin box and little else. Still a good result as having a college degree has meaning. Good luck![/quote]
