<p>Hifi, do you have any technical schools near you? In Georgia, they will pay for a technical school certificate or diploma - we have considered having our children earn one of these (for free, no less) while they are homeschooling. Although they fully intend to go on to university, this would give them a marketable skill so that they could work part time while in college (and possibly make more money than they could at another job). Many of the technical school classes will transfer (like English 101, etc…). It also could give them a leg up on a career choice (for instance, if they wanted to go to medical school, becoming an EMT or surgical technologist would be good experience). Just a thought.</p>
