I don't have a problem with him not going to college - I thought he should take a year off (or not go at all based on who he is) I am thrilled with what he is doing with outdoors education.

The slow road to adulthood has to do with paying his own bills and being responsible for all those adult things (like meals - housing - health care - car etc)

Yes - he has his passion and I think he can and will go far with that - but the other parts of adult responsibility he just doesn't get. The "program" I have for him is being self sufficient. Not college or professional or anything like that! At this point he thinks it is fine to work a 3 month job that doesn't come close to paying for his basic needs and then not work for three months unitl the summer job starts! That is what I am talking about!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
