I'm sort of there myself...hehe.<br /><br />Funny though, of course he has no idea what he wants to do! Just don't let him sit on his butt. If he can't decide on anything, force him to go volunteer somewhere everyday or go for a walk or whatever. <br /><br />I have nightmares of my kid wanting to have a gap year at age 18 and sitting in the basement playing Wii 12 hours a day then going out with friends at night to get drunk....

I think that's the key to suggesting what to do. <br /><br />Of course traveling in Europe would be fabulous, but I certainly don't know if it's him. I worked summers in college as a park ranger, and still consider it the best job I've ever held. They do a good job of training rangers, the locations are amazing if you're into nature, and you meet a lot of people, and the pay (for a teenager) is decent. But, if you're not into the natural world, it's not a good suggestion. Same with the other ideas - if he doesn't want to teach ENglish in Japan, or trek through Europe, or work with poor kids in Appalachia, those ideas aren't good fits for him. <br /><br />I so hope you tell us what he/you all decide.Which Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223363075283823935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-75483421510861144582009-06-04T15:02:55.369-04:002009-06-04T15:02:55.369-04:00Congrats on going from one milestone to the next: ...Congrats on going from one milestone to the next: from HS to college, and from infancy to toddlerhood.<br /><br />On a slightly related, yet unrelated topic...
