[quote=Anonymous]OP - it seems like your child is doing this in a reasonable way. 1) they did well their first year both academically and socially 2) they secured a job for the summer 3) they have been above and beyond dedicated to the job 4) they contacted their school advisor in advance to inquire what his options are This doesn't sound like a slacker - sounds like someone who is taking a break and intends to return. I'd almost call it a gap year, but just delayed one year. I also think it is very likely COVID related - these kids had very strange experience. It seems reasonable that he may be enjoying the job for it's social aspect and (since you say he's more of an introvert) it may be building his confidence socially. It is probably also building his confidence in a working environment. There are SOOO many valuable skills learned in that job to bring forward into a career (and the social one seems pretty invaluable for an introvert). [/quote]
