<p>You may be correct Pizza, but even looking at my #2’s closest friends. All had the high school stats and chops for college. Now in year 2, one has dropped out of his private LAC and is “considering” going to the local state U but is already headed west to the mountains for “the season”, one went to CC for a year and has joined the military, one attended the local U but has quit and gone to apprentice as an electrician. Two are still in college (mine and one other) and will most likely finish. All of these kids were “college ready” with similar socioeconomic situations and we have a district that send 89% off to college and is a highly ranked HS, but some kids just aren’t meant for college right after HS or really ever.</p>
