When those kids find their nitch lots of times they love their work. A friend of mine’s son was a terror in school and ended up quitting when the school told his parents he wasn’t welcome back for a 5th year of high school.
Today he refurbishes and repairs stained glass windows. He’ll never get rich but he and his family are happy and his youngest son is learning the trade.
Unlike a lot of 50 year-olds that kid loves going to work every day.
I believe that,too. Not all kids are meant for college. I think sometimes college ruins them politically and often morally as well (all the drinking, easy sex, etc.) Each person has to decide for him/herself what’s best. We parents and grandparents can guide them but they essentially have to begin their own journey.
