[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like the PP said (and another Texan here) going doesn’t guarantee success. In fact many of my peers who went there are all burned out bar tenders/ servers or hobby artists living in Austin still. Yes, some of my friends are successful but only one and two are truly impressive by DCUM standards. It’s a huge school and you have to fight for what you want I.e good classes, attention/ aide from professors, etc.  Your daughter needs to be highly driven and almost pushy to be noticed. [/quote]

Thanks for the heads up.

I am not sure how much of a self starter she is in the way that I think of it. However she is Very Gen Z in so many ways, so she probably is very entrepreneurial in Gen Z ways (social media etc). I’ll warn her that she would  need to be very self directed to consider it seriously.

Thanks![/quote]

This doesn’t sound like the school for her. No one will be impressed by her Tik Tok. To be successful at a school this big you have to stand out and take charge from day 1. Be on your professor’s radar, be engaged and Tow the line between over eager and driven. Sounds like she needs a smaller school. [/quote]

"Not impressed with her TikTok" made me laugh out loud.  Oh, the hubris.

We underestimate this generation.  I tried to talk my nephew (who graduated from UT) out of wasting his time on a YouTube channel that he created at the age of 16.  By the time he graduated from UT, he could have retired off his You Tube earnings.  He's 26 and investing and into merchandising his brand.  [/quote]
