I am thinking about enrolling my son in Job Corps, and was reviewing the website. I have however, had two people share with me that their children did not like the program and ended up coming back home - one parent shared with me that after she dropped her son off at a center, she spent the night with family in that state and then headed home and her son had beat her home and was waiting for her...and it was a bad experience for their children. It was vaguely mentioned to me that the centers were "something else"....and neither would elaborate on the specifics of what that meant bcuz they said it has its own reputation???? If there are positive stories out there, please share. the website doest give personal testimonies of success stories....and my son would be 16 at the time of enrollment. He needs to do something positive for himself but I am not tossing him out there in who knows what? seems to me a governmnet facility would be in a better standing.....
