[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids at that age need to realize that attending college is the expectation. If they plan to deviate they better have a good back plan, and be able to articulate it to adults convincingly. You are lucky you have savvy acquaintances. You can’t shelter her forever. [/quote] Let me fix that for you: Kids at that age need to realize that it is expected that they have a plan for after high school graduation. There are lots of paths for young adults to take after high school graduation, not all of them involve a 4 year university. I have switched what I ask seniors to be more along the lines of "What are your plans for next year?" That leaves the door open for them to be proud of their path forward. The responses I have gotten range from: going to college to study XX, joining the XX branch of the military, attending a trade school, working for a year to ear enough money to pay for college and taking a year to intern.
