[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nursing is hard, test-oriented, not particularly nurturing anymore, and very demanding and stressful as a job.  My sister was pushed in this direction with a similar profile and she failed out and it was so not right for her.  Social work is a great profession.  Don't worry about pay!  I recommended CCC above.  Now that I hear your daughter had extended time in school, which means she has had an ongoing issue with testing and academics, I recommend that or something similar even more strongly. [b] It seems to me her learning challenges have been completely neglected and that is why she is discouraged[/b].  It's not too late to get a good evaluation and get set up.  Many colleges now offer support services including extended time, writing center support, tutoring, etc., and it would be good to help your daughter get set up for this.  The fact that she is getting improved grades shows she is able to work hard despite some potential challenges or anxiety.  You the parents need to step up.  JMHO.[/quote]

Op here:  she had help throughout elementary and middle school.  Also, a math tutor in HS.  Maybe I just don't know what to do to help, but when she sets her mind to something, she does get the work done.  Should we take her to a psychologist?  I want her to do well in life but don't know anyone who has encountered the same issues and successful conquered them.  Sometimes I feel like my daughter wants to not do well.  Even when she was in the third grade, I would help her with homework and she would screw around so something that should take 30 minutes would take two hours.[/quote]
