[quote=Anonymous]You should encourage your daughter to go to a great public university, for both undergrad and grad school.

You should encourage her to work while she is in school. It's hard work to keep a job and to study- but it absolutely can be done. She will learn the value of money and responsibility, time management, balance, etc.

You should also tell her to get a degree in something that will be profitable. Today, that would be something in the sciences or technology and not English. I don't know what the labor force will look like in 15-20 years. If she wants to study English, she should double major in computer science. She can do anything she sets her mind to, and you can push her to be self aware, responsible, and make good decisions.

She can join the military and pay off her med school loans in that manner- or work on a Native American reservation, etc. I know a lot of parents on here want to throw $$ at whatever difficulty their kids have, but I think supporting her, encouraging her, and showing her a range of smart options will make your daughter independent, and hard working.
