[quote=Anonymous]Wow.  OP yeah u think you are terrible.

What is ambition but to be really great at something you do?  Typically that can be achieved only if you love what you do,  I hire people for a living and let me tell you that 100% of my top candidates are those who clearly love what they do.

That your kid is motivated to want to be in a position to provide inspiration and opportunities to gain knowledge to others is a really beautiful thing.  Maybe they try it and hate it.  Maybe they become an extraordinary teacher.  Would you feel that they were less successful if the latter just because maybe they didn't become a lousy investment banker who hated their job?

What is ambition to you?  That she is getting a great education and feeling she would want to replicate that and give back because she has enjoyed her experience in school - how can you be disappointed in a kid who is grateful?

You are the mess OP not your kid.  I make $400k owning my own business.  I say to my kids all the time - do what you love - if you want to be a garbage man be the best garbage man you can possibly be because you love it.  I don't mean that literally but in a way, I don't totally care either because the money and the honors come only if you really love what you do, no matter how hard something is, if you don't really love it it's that much harder.
