RE: HS Drop out.
mobow,
Since your kid dropped out of class, I'm sure the last thing he wants to do is take another class. But I'd highly recommend you get him signed up for a Dave Ramsey course. With him limitting his income most likely for the rest of his life, that class would be very beneficial.
Dave's classes are hosted all over the nation. They are less than $200 and can be as cheep as $100 if you go through a church.
These classes would be beneficial to anyone really. They are really life changing when it comes to finances.
