my friend
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]?

The first time I went to college I quit. I went back later though I just wasn't ready the first time. He may need to work for awhile and realize that there is no money for those with no education. He may need to find his own way as a friend you may need to let him, but when he starts to complain about how hard it is to make good money remind him that by getting an education he is increasing his income with every year he completes.

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.
