[quote=Anonymous]I think the first question is whether they want to go to a traditional college (and can realistically succeed in college). If not, then looking at what other post high school training or certifications are available should be a priority. On that track, one of my high school friends spent a few years working retail, realized it wasn't going to be a sustainable option long term and went and got trained to be a phlebotomist. Still not great pay, but there was some career trajectory, benefits, etc. She loves it and has a great group of coworker friends. My friend's son hated school and stumbled into vo-tech and discovered he had a real talent as a mechanic. He now does a ton of specialty work and makes good money. My nephew has ADHD and no interest in college and is looking at carpentry apprenticeships when he graduates in May (he's been working with my BIL on their house for years). [/quote]
