[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First off, I'm not against vocational schools AT ALL. For various reasons, I want DS to get a college degree. He has dyslexia and doesn't enjoy school, though he's very smart and motivated and able to get As and Bs at a competitive private school. He has no idea what he wants to study but he's only in 10th grade. What I think would be ideal is something like the culinary or hospitality programs at the Culinary Institute of America, Drexel, Cornell, etc. Are there any other fields that have something similar? A college degree but a very hands-on curriculum? Something in medical sciences (not pre-med)? Or really anything. Would love to float some ideas by him but I can't find anything except hospitality.[/quote]

Our community college offers commercial welding, HVAC, electrician etc.

Most medical is pretty challenging.  Xray technician is probably the easiest to get certified in.[/quote]

X-ray requires learning radiation physics. For most people, pt, speech path or nursing are easier careers. [/quote]

PT requires 3 years past the 4 years of college.  it is NOT hands on until you are actually into probably year 5 or 6 of the 7 years.

I would look at the Technology degrees out there. Purdue Polytech would be one to research all their options.[/quote]
