[quote=jstoesz]One other thought. If your son is more of a chemistry/medicine buff (not much of a physics lover or gear head) and really likes the idea of being employed…check out the Physician Assistant route.

My wife had a very enjoyable time at Cal Poly as a kinesiology major, and went on to Physician Assistance school (a 2 year program) at Loma Linda. She made crazy money out of starting and has found more job opportunities then any person should be allowed to have. It also is populated with women who demand a flexible schedule, so the 9-5 grind is definitely not a requirement. If I could do it over again, and could remember more than one thing at a time, I would have become a PA.[/quote]

My niece is a PA. Her undergradute major is Biology. One drawback of PA is you have to re-certify/re-take the board every 2 years (I think, I forgot the exact frequency). It’s not that bad, but for lazy person like me, I don’t want to study for the board every 2 years or so.

I know a lot of family friend’s kids that were smart, motivated in high school (high GPA and all), went to community college to “save”. Four years after, they’re still in community college. What happened? Not sure, but the environment in a CC is not conducive to some kids and that they are being pulled down and “derailed”. But of course, every kids are different.

Also most classes in CC are not competitive. My high school daughter took a mid-level math class this summer after her freshmen year and they were being spoon fed, more so than her Honors class in her high school.

These are the areas that I would consider good:
Eastlake Greens/Trails/Vista/Woods. Rolling Hills are pretty good too. All those areas have elementary schools that are 900 and above and feeds to Eastlake Middle and High.

Avoid the older Eastlake neighborhood (Shores and Hills) and San Miguel Ranch. For some reason their elementary school’s API are in the low to mid 800.

Pretty much in my neighborhood, it’s kid friendly. One thing that I hate about it is a certain segment of the population loves to party too much. Nothing is wrong with that but sometimes it’s a little bit too much. Is it too much to ask if they can at least do it on a non-school night? Sometimes I see kids still awake at midnight on Sunday night.
