[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 391905, member: 3208"] Well, I agree with MWM--I would not pay 50,000 a year for a kid to attend college who doesn't actually seem to want to be there. My easy child son ended up getting into alcohol and partying at his college (it cost about 15,000 a year) and was caught and had to do community service to continue. He didn't fulfill those requirements so they wouldn't let him register for classes. He had to come home and go to work. This is when he was 20 yrs old. He is now 26, living on the west coast, working, going to community college. He is paying his own way and feels good about how he has taken responsibility for his own life. He says he should not have gone to college right out of high school--he wasn't ready, wasn't mature enough. He wasted his time partying instead of studying. Jane [/QUOTE]
