[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was. Extreme Executive Dysfunction. Just as you describe, OP. Failed out of college. No goals, depressed about his difference from other friends who were high achievers. K-12 was hard, and worsened the older he got. Almost hopeless.

The rules were: after failing out of college-- full-time school (trade, CC, whatever) or work, and as long as he did those he could live at home, rent-free.

With time he realized he had to own his situation, and better himself. It HAS to come from within. He saw the dead-end he was living in, and challenged himself in the USMC. That, and a few more years, he's back in college. He won't have a degree until he's 30 probably. But he owns it now. He is proud of himself, feels hope and positivity for his future. This is what is meant by a late bloomer. It is the definition of it.[/quote]

The Marine Corps in particular both challenges and provides a brotherhood that many young men need.  They thrive there because of both aspects.  The Corps becomes your family and your career.  It's not for everyone, but it's definitely worth consideration.[/quote]
