[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- Thank you for the input.  The community college route is sounding more and more promising as an option.

As a parent, I really want DD to start in some form of college so there is some structure and a way to meet people when she moves to LA.  I also don't want her to eliminate options at 18- I know community college and possibly transferring later isn't the traditional experience, but I feel like it would be better than not going to school at all.  I worry if she takes a break from school, it will be harder to go back later.

I'm going to think about the gap year/expiration date option, too.

Thank you!

Encourage your daughter to do lots of research on the film industry.  LA isn't the film hub it used to be; many, many productions (major studios like Marvel, Disney, Netflix, etc) operate out of Atlanta.  Has your daughter thought about studying film or TV production?  She should look at programs that give her that experience; she might find it engaging and motivating for her studies.  Some community colleges (even MC) have TV production programs.  That could be a good way for her to learn a skill, and get the experience she will need to break into the industry.  Most production assistants tend to be older than you would think--simply because it takes so long to build skills and make connections that will get you hired.

Wishing you and her good luck and success.[/quote]
