<p>sorry to hear about this. its never over. you will find a better fit somewhere else. whatever the course plan was, it wasn’t right for you, that’s all it means. Some students can get by on any plan, but thats not you. don’t worry, you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>My husband was an excellent HS student with great SAT scores and top grades. When he got to college (also an engineering major initially), he just floundered. He wasn’t really ready, I guess - he didn’t study, didn’t follow the college guidelines for adding and dropping classes properly, just…didn’t try. He flunked out.</p>
<p>He decided to join the Air Force, and served for 4 years. Now he’s 28 and much more mature, and he just finished his first year back getting a bachelor’s - this time at Columbia (GS). He’s doing much better this time around - very disciplined and studious!</p>
<p>Of course the military may be too long - he may be looking for 1-2 years instead of 4 - but my husband would describe himself as lazy and procrastinating before the military and says that it changed him. For shorter periods, perhaps your son would like Americorps or City Year. He could do a short technical training program and spend a few years working, then return later if he wants.</p>
<p>Tech is tough. I’m from GA and have friends who have gone there, and it has a reputation around my high school for being a fun-sucker, lol. I don’t know if you’re from GA and it sounds like he wants to return to Tech, but if he didn’t and wanted to try engineering somewhere else there’s Southern Polytechnic and Georgia Southern.</p>
