Matthew, You have just identified the very LEGITIMATE concern of folks from career colleges regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities in their programs. While traditional higher ed institutions leave the "what will you do with your education" question to all students to answer, career college graduates are generally considered to be coming out of school ready to begin work immediately in their chosen field. It doesn't always happen that way, but it is the intent. For that reason, there is nothing in either the spirit or the letter of the law that prohibits you from sitting down to have that heart-to-heart talk with a student and express your very real concerns about the ramifications of a decision to pursue an area that might not have that immediate "pay back" for them. It is not inappropriate to be up front and honest. It is only inappropriate to put barriers in the way of allowing the student to choose to proceed AFTER you've had that talk. Dr. Jane Jarrow
