I know so many people who have gone to Whitney Young Job Corps and finished their high school education and get a trade and ended up with a fantastic job, making so much more than fast food or unskilled wages. These kids come out of there highly trained and ready to work. Is the place perfect - no. But it's only the kids that go there without being serious about themselves that make it so. Send your kids there, if you're 16-24 and not making enough money, don't sell yourself short - go with the right attitude and take that step to success. Whitney, you rock!
Pros: Where else can you get yourself back on track and ready to start a career?
Cons: The people who bash Job Corps - give me a break!!!!
