I don't understand the issue with the SATs.  Just keep taking them until
you get a good score -- that's my recommendation.

Also, I didn't have a car while in college.  It can be tricky, but it's
doable.

In any case, it's too bad about Job Corps.  I think figuring out another
way to get an apprenticeship as an electrician may be an option.  However,
I think he eventually should go to college since he seems to push himself
hard and be attracted to intellectual stimulation.
