[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You think it is a good thing that you have a child managing a fast food joint? I don't even know where to start.

That said, why don't you at least talk to him about going to community college first and then the guaranteed admissions programs to state universities after that. If you live in VA, in particular, it is an excellent option, but MD is good too.

Please, stop telling him that he is not prepared to go to college.

I honestly do not understand why people like you have three children. Selfishly, I would love that, but I am not having three children because I cannot afford three children. I would never have three children with the plan from the outset that I would not contribute to college. I just really don't get it.[/quote]OP here:

Do I think it's a good thing? He is self sufficient and not sitting in my basement playing videogames like too many people nowadays. Do I wish he was making $100k a year? Yeah, but that's his choice.

I don't think he is ready for any college. If he wants to go to community college, he can on his own dime. At that point, he will not be my responsibility.

He has a 3.0 GPA, he IS NOT ready for further schooling.[/quote]
A 3.0 gpa is not that bad.

I had a friend who dropped out in 8th grade . She had 2 kids by age 18 and at 25 she decided to get her GED. She came from an awful home life where education was never the focus. She is now a successful attorney. Pleaae don't put a limit on your children but encourage them to reach higher.[/quote]
