Q:
Where can my child go if he doesn't go to college?
I saw this segment on t.v. this morning. They listed a book of different alternatives for kids who don't want to go to college. Did anyone get the title of this book?
I'm at my wits end. My 20 year old never did well in school. He is real smart but has ADD and can't make himself do what he needs to do. He needs a real job as he has flunked out of community college and his health insurance will end in August when he turns 21. I was hoping this book will give him some ideas of other careers that he can pursue without college. Currently he is working part time at a state department in the data processing field but these jobs require a 4 year college degree. Any suggestions are welcome.

I needed see the segment on TV today; however, this book could be it. €œBut What If I Don€™t Want To Go To College€" by Harlow Unger. It€™s a keeper! Hope this has helped.
Best of luck to you and your Son. He€™ll find his way. Have faith!

There are plenty of careers that don't require college degrees as long as your child has the necessary skill set. Contact your local Technical College, which offers vocational training that may interest your son.
