Q: My friend went to college and basically failed out. I am really worried about his future. He has been out of college for a year. I think he should go to a community college at first to help him transition better, but I don't think he'll be up for it. How can I convince him to give college another shot [besides saying that he won't make any money]?
I hate to say this, but not everybody is made for college. I knew several people who flunked out... college takes more than just intelligence, you have to be self-motivated, and you have to want that degree. There are plenty of jobs for people who didn't go to college, he's not going to starve to death or anything. And who knows, maybe in a few years he'll find that motivation to go back. Until then just be a friend and encourage him to work hard at whatever he's working at, and it'll be okay.

thank you

I've been in the advice column over five years now so I think I've pretty much heard it all... the love, the hate, the random insanity. I don't take it too seriously, so I'm not always giving the best advice, but my column is fun to read!

I am a 23 year old electrical engineer, a feminist, a Christian. I don't know everything but I can sure pretend to.

Disclaimer: Now that I'm on advicenators I'm getting even more questions every day. It's fast and easy for me to answer them, yes, so at least I'm answering something now, but if your question contains the words "there's this guy that I like..." chances are I won't get around to it. I'm only answering interesting questions that I haven't answered before. Register at the site and ask everyone for advice if you must have an answer, because if people read my column and boring love advice was all they found, they'd never come back.
