[quote=Anonymous]It's not at all unusual (in the real world, not the bubble that is DC/Md/Va) for kids to get some sort of job or tech/assoc. degree... work for a few years... then realize that if they don't want to be the lowest person on the totem pole, they need to get a bachelors degree. They usually turn out to be very motivated students b/c they have outgrown the party scene and they know the industry that they want to pursue. She's not ready to commit to college, so tell her you'll support her (emotionally, that is) in whatever she wants to do that is legal and productive. Give her some space and let her make her choice. She knows college is an option... you don't need to push it. I'm sure she's smart enough to hear what other kids are talking about. She'll come up with something. Don't waste money on college when she is telling you she can't commit to it. [/quote]
