is it the school? or doesnt she feels that she is learning anything usefull..
Geoff wants anti school last year.. seems like a bunch of folks were gonna drop out and travel europe to teach farming and such..( just cause your in Iowa doesnt mean you know anything about farming)..Never happened.. but it made good late night talks..
I don't know, it probably is partly the school. It's in a very small town that becomes even smaller when school's out. She lives there because her job is 30 minutes past the town so it's not feasible for her to live at home during the off times.
Carol was so passionate about what she wanted to do when she started but it seems she has lost her way. She's not doing well this semester. I've been trying to get her to take one of those career interest tests but she seems to think that it will tell her the same as when she was in middle school/high school. I've explained that she has two years in college under her belt and that there is a good chance that it will say something different.
I'm meeting her for dinner tomorrow night to have a talk. It may be that she will end up at home next semester. She keeps bringing up that she's interested in being a beautician. There's nothing wrong with that but she's never shown any inclination towards that direction. I've told her that it's a hard job, on your feet all day, dealing with good and bad customers and she should shadow my hair dresser for a day or two to see what it's like.
I'm going to also suggest one of those two year colleges like DeVry or Remington. Maybe getting an associates degree in something would be a boost to her self esteem.
