[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 44995, member: 84"] Sue Yep. She may not have a clue as to what she wants to do for a living, but she's found 3 things she doesn't want to make a career out of. Believe it or not, that's some progress. If she is agreeable to sit and talk you might want to point this out to her. Working is a great way to help figure out what you would like to do for the rest of your life. (or at least for a longish time til something else peaks your interest) If manual labor doesn't seem to be up her alley then a tech school or college ed may be just what she needs. Cuz otherwise she may find herself at 50 doing exactly what she doesn't want to do, scrubbing toilets. N has yet to decide what she wants to do as far as a career. But she does know she doesn't want to do manual labor with little pay and awful benefits with employers that may fold in a decade. So she's decided to do the phlebotomy program. It only lasts a year and she will have a good paying stable job with good benefits when she's done. That's only a hold over til she is positive what she wants to really do and then go to school for that. But I've told her that if while she's in school she discovers another path she'd rather follow then she needs to go for it. easy child sort of did this with the RN program. Being preg and then having a tiny baby she didn't want to go away to college. She needed something that would make her able to support the baby that didn't take very long. So her plans of medical school went on hold and she did RN first. Now she's back to the medical school thing. I know I drove my Mom nuts before I married. As a teen I flat out refused to work fast food. I got a job in a hospital instead. Then I went to a tech school and was trained as an LPN. I quit like 2 weeks before graduation with an A average because I'd suddenly decided I didn't want to BE an LPN. I still recall the look on my Mom's face when I told her. (and yeah I still kick myself for being so stupid lol) I hope you can keep her out there trying. Hugs [/QUOTE]
