[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish OP would share the nature of the part-time job her child really enjoys. That seems like a core detail that may help with brainstorming some out of the box ideas. For example, if he’s really into the outdoors or working with his hands, a college like Warren Wilson or Paul Smith’s may be worth exploring.[/quote]

OP here - I don't want to share for privacy reasons, but it's not something that could be a career. Think like fast food or some typical teenage job. He just likes that he has friends there and he's been there a long time. The work itself is boring. He does not like the outdoors. He has never liked any subject at school, and his main interests are a sport he does fairly well and could do in college depending on where he goes (it might even help his application) and cars. But he does not want to be a mechanic. [/quote]

DP.  You've stated several times that he hates school - so why are you trying to find a college for him?  I agree with others that if anything, CC might be a great place to start.  If he does well, he can transfer to a four-year school and if he doesn't, he can continue working or join the military, etc.  Not everyone has to go to college![/quote]
