My 26-year old son is a dependable, smart, and loyal worker. He did very well in high school, graduated, went off to college, but just never engaged there. Spent a couple years floundering and not knowing what he wanted to do with college. Left college after 2 years without much to show for it. Took some classes at the local community college over the next couple years while working. He's never seemed to figure out his career path, and has been working full-time at the same retail restaurant chain for 5 years now. I'd really like to see him figure out a career path soon...whether that means getting a degree or finding another place of employment that would offer some real career advancement potential without a degree. As time goes by, I'm not seeing the traditional 4-year college degree being in his future. Similar to many people his age, he enjoys working on computers but also has good people skills. I think if he found the right company to work for...one that would allow him to grow and advance...he would really excel. The retail restaurant business is not that, and he knows it is time to move on.
Any suggestions appreciated.
