[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]check out wooof, outward bound and NOLS.
we know kids who are going to work construction, play sports/study overseas, and work on outdoor science centers in new england. Others are living with friends a dong online learning together. 
Traditional internships and indoor jobs are tough to find, but if your DC is willing to be outside and think outside the box, she might find something. 
 I find spending one of your  4 college years doing online learning less desirable compared to what you could gain from a gap year (if you have the means to pull it off). [/quote]

Do you think things will be back to normal next year? They won’t be. This a long term norm. Virtual classes will be ru common from here on out.

And right now you can’t travel many places out of the US and you risk getting stuck there. And FYI. Construction is breeding Covid like crazy.  My husband is a project manager in the DC metro and it is insane how many cases the sites have and do not shut down. Be aware that many of these options are riskier than learning for a year. I also expect financial aid to be severely decreased next year. Already was this year at many colleges. If you defer you lose financial aid and have to reapply. Be aware. [/quote]
