My son can graduate from high school next month. He wants to get a job and save money for starting college in the fall. I would prefer for him to stay in school and enjoy the last semester with his friends. Which do you think is better? -- Senior's Mom
Answer: Both choices have advantages. Staying in school will let him enjoy senior activities. On the other hand, it makes great sense for him to earn money for college. Another avenue would be for him to remain in school and take some classes at a local college or online so that he has earned a few college credits -- thus reducing future tuition costs. Have him weigh the plusses and minuses of each choice and then decide.
