Nothing replaces college. College teaches you to work in a team environment which is essential in the working world. Community college should be fine. I’ve been in IT for almost 30 years and I have never met anyone with zero college experience. People had community college at least.

I was in a fraternity with a bunch of Aspbergers-ridden It types trying to come out of their shell. Of course, I was one of them. College does that for you.

He's not quite "Ass-burgers" (his word) but close to. He did a term at CC and hated every minute of it, for mostly social reasons. His grandpa was a systems analyst for Honeywell.

My son just approaches the world and problem solving from a very different perspective. I think he would be brilliant in security for this very reason...but I don't think I can get him back to CC, which is like High School on steroids. Nor do I want him living in my garage at age 30.

Since he is already on a computer 10 hours aday, on=line classes semed like a no brainer. How did your classmates/Frat brothers do?
