[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 268196, member: 84"] ((hugs)) I'm so scared Nichole is going to land this in my lap one day. boyfriend is pushing her so hard when it comes to school......the guy is relentless about it, nagging about studying, test scores, grades........Worse than a parent. But she's getting fed up.....So now I'm worrying. sheesh Ok I have a suggestion. Do you ever get those ads in the paper for the US postal service exam? If so you might want to show it to difficult child. The exam is NOT hard, I swear. If she can pass the exam, she has a chance at a job that pays 18-20 dollars an hour with excellent benefits and does not require one more minute of college. Nichole is getting ready to take it. And Mom is worried it's because boyfriend is pushing her to the limit as far as school goes. So I encouraged her to go for it. Doesn't hurt anything. And if she passes and gets a job as a mail carrier......she can still go to school. I'm sorry Jo. I was so hoping the phlebotomy would work out for her. When we're young we make stupid decisions. (I know, I did) Do you think a trade school would be more up her alley? Not everyone is college material. ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
