Most kids that leave college have no plan in my conversations with parents with kids who have done this. Quite a few went back a few years later and finished. The timing of the OP’s kid is unsettling but may have not make a difference in the long haul. Some kids get to college and realize or are told they shouldn’t be there. Some kids get to college sail on through and have no clue what to do with their lives when completed like the 30 year old living down the street in his parents basement - both ends of the spectrum. Somewhere in the middle are the kids who start and either know what they want to do or figure it out while still in college. It’s not a sprint. Life is not a sprint. It’s a journey with all kinds of potential detours if you take them.
