[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely consider what it is about the job that he likes to help him think about different paths.

He might like the idea of a school with a co-op program so he can alternate work/school. Some have high admit rates, like U of Cincinnati or Wentworth Institute of Technology (Boston).

If he can't find a 4 yr school he's interested in then, sure work + CC while he figures it out. It works for some kids but I've seen others in my family flounder in CC because they spent too much time working or didn't get good advising and took classes that ended up being a waste of time. Plus you miss out on extra time at the 4-yr school to build faculty relationships, ec involvement, friends, etc. [/quote]

I agree. CC is good for some kids, not for others. It can actually make the problem worse for the unmotivated, because it doesn't offer the vibrant college life that a 4-year does, leaving it just more boring coursework that the kid didn't like to begin with.[/quote]
