[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 724579, member: 4152"] Our son knew he wanted to go to college, but did it his way. He loved his summer job working 30 hours a week and didn't want to give it up. So, the first 18 months-2 years he worked there and only took two classes at a time. Then he found a job 10-15 hours a week and usually went to school full time from that point forward. Sometimes a little less. It took him a good 5-6 years to get his BA. But he had to do it his way and it worked very well for him. And yes college isn't for everyone. I'm amazed at my friend's kid ...the Difficult Child plumber. The training period was short, jobs were plentiful and the pay was/us good. Bingo. That was the right formula for him. [/QUOTE]
