[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Extremely disappointed my daughter wants to be a psychologist. She is very bright and hardworking — could’ve gone into tech or medicine if she wanted [/quote]

The point is that she is probably well aware of those possibilities and does not want to do those things.    Hopefully you are keeping your opinions to yourself and letting her live her own life helping others.[/quote]

I suggested she be a psychiatrist — pay is much better than psychologist and she will be doing something similar. But she won’t listen! [/quote]

yeah because that's med school... and a big big time and money commitment. Keep your opinions to yourself. You're probably the reason she wants to be a psychologist. [/quote]

Yes, she said it’s because med school is too much of a commitment. And will leave her in debt.

I showed her the math — med school will leave her $200k in debt, but it will be totally worth it when her salary doubles from a psychologist to a psychiatrist. So the debt is worth it! I’ve showed DD this all on an Excel spreadsheet but she doesn’t believe me :( [/quote]
