[quote=Anonymous]"Did you read the OP's post? The kid was 100% behind this and happy about the result. That poor kid??" The OP's post implied this but being 100% behind it at 14 or 15 or 16 does not necessarily lead to being 100% behind it at 18 or 19 or 20. At that point, DC has to disappoint their parent. It can be a pretty traumatic experience. Sometimes, the kid can't do it. They finish the degree and then move home. The parent wonders why they don't get a job or why the job has nothing to do with the major. At some point, every person has to take control of their own lives. It is much better to go through that process in HS when mistakes aren't costing college tuition. But if it doesn't happen in HS, it is better for it to happen in college, even if it costs some tuition, than for it to happen at a first job or during a first marriage. [/quote]
