I would recommend job corps for any 17-23 yr old to learn not only a trade, but how to be independent and take care of yourself. I graduated 22 yrs ago from Gary JC in south Tx.....it was the best time of my life. I was active on and off campus from Bluelite Drill Team Lt. Col (still have the Certificate) and dorm sports to singing in local church and college choirs (now Texas State). It's what you make it. Avoid the drugs and gangs, manage your time and $ and you can leave there LIFE ready while making true lifelong friends.
