It is much better to go into the Military, PeaceCorps, or the Coast Guard for those who are confused about what to do with the rest of their life, think do I.
Sign up via delayed deferment, for a billet to open up for the job training that sounds interesting... such as Nuclear Engineer in the U.S. Navy... they are 'extremely' unlikely to ever be sent to Yaman except as a part of a crew to a nuclear ship. This is the best way to get some training that may be of benefit to the prospective student, and they get paid for it, so they can start building that Savings account in Navy Federal Credit Union that will carry them through a community college and/or university.
In addition, entering an apprenticeship for a trade profession, such as plumbing or the railroad, can also be a great choice for a young adult.
For those who want to earn a degree to get access for a job that they see themselves in ten years? Go to a local community college first and study for an Associates degree. The point is that those who sign up for Financial Aid early in the year, the entire tuition can be paid for by grants, instead of a student loan. They may still need financial help from a savings account or family, but most of the cost can be mitigated from the students perspective.
Students who know they want a >4 year degree, go to a community college in the same state, or a neighboring state, to the university that is of interest. That way the Associates from the community college is likely to fully transfer over to the university, thus there is only want for >2 years for their degree that is wanted.
