[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree with the above. Especially if she’s got computer engineering talent. Degrees are extremely overrated in that field and will have a lot more to do with her maintaining her class position than with her future income. [/quote] There was a thread discussing this. The consensus was that programmers without a degree can be exploited and lose out in the end due to lacking degree. OP is she saying she doesn't want to go to college? Or just being passive about the process? She may have executive functioning challenges that make planning and motivation problematic. You can help her with some of that, or get a college consultant who can help draw her out and explore the possibilities with her and keep her organized. BTW I have heard UMBC is good for kids like this--bright but not as motivated as they could be. Good programs in STEM.[/quote]
