JobCorps

[Greyson]

I think you probably made the right choice for you back in those days. I do believe it has gotten better in terms of career training. Again, the young person needs emotional support and to stay clear of the "extra curricular" activities.

Another piece of history, When I was in Job Corp, most butches, at least the obvious ones were directed toward careers that were of the labor nature. At least on the campus where I was. I was directed into electronics (way before computers and internet). I had to do a lot of talking and shoving my test scores in front of them to be placed in the "Upward Bound" (headed for college) program.
