[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, you seem to be in no position to help her.
Not every person deserves to go to college or should go to college. Don't put that into her head.
She may be better off taking a break from school and just work. Once she has some money and is ready to go back to school, she should attend community college.
My kid got 30 credits transferred to Nova from high school and should be able to attend George Mason later. He will be independent from parents as we want that for him and we live in another state.
Two years working in a restaurant for 40 hours a week would allow her to mature, become independent, and save up at minimum $24k. 
Restaurants also hire without much experience. We have 16-17 year olds working right now. You said absolutely nothing about this child having work experience. She needs a job and perhaps has some maturing to do before she knows what she wants to study.
I put myself through college paying international rates and working 40 hours at the same time. I worked 45 hours a week for a year right after graduating, then applied for college.
She can work part time and attend community college, not a 4-year school.[/quote]

You sound really charming. As someone who has BTDT (so have I, by the way, and I am very successful now) why do you want this for your kid? It's a miserable existence for a young adult, as you should well know. [/quote]
