[quote=Anonymous]OP -- I'm a mom of two teenagers, one heading to college next year (though I recommend he take a gap). I was your daughter in 1980. Fortunately my parents didn't force me to return after spring semester, I got a FT job and eventually my own apartment. I also was not ready for college, I didn't expect the reality of the social life and self-organization necessary. To the posters who say make her return and grow up, that's wrong. 18 to 25 is a very vulnerable age, and she may need to grow up a little more. In the end I never did return to college but am a successful self-employed person. Working 9 to 5 was the key to my success in the early years, and interacting with adults day to day. My kids are dynamic and motivated but I know the conventional college path is not for everyone. Good luck to her! And be proud of how brave she is to call it as she sees it. [/quote]
