My best friend is experiencing a business failure, is from a lower income family, and really wants to elevate himself intellectually and financially. His dream school is UCSD but his GPA is less than a 3.5 so he may not get in. He’s been in community college around 5 years (used to work full time and earned low grades). His major is Philosophy but now he questions it because he needs to be able to get a job after college. I won’t be around to help him through his college years, but he needs help. He’s not the most motivated but I want to get him through his pain. What advice can you give someone with these circumstances? He needs some direction.
