Sorry, rightbehindu, I never answered your question but kind of hijacked your thread.

So, here’s what I can tell you about kids we know who have finished homeschooling. One travels extensively throughout US and Central America but plans on attending university at age 20 or so. One is working as a camp counselor in the summer he turned 18, and is attending community college during fall, winter and spring to get his hs diploma AND AA degree.

My oldest is only 15 so has a few years left before hitting the road. But her plan as it stands now (subject to wild fluctuation) is that she will attend a 4-year LAC, including a study abroad year. She would also like to continue working on her art and designing. And she wants to earn money, so I don’t know at exactly what age she’ll attend college. The great freedom allowed homeschoolers is that it doesn’t matter WHEN they attend college. She could start at 16, or 24, depending on what other life experiences she is involved in.
