[quote=Anonymous]A friend of mine's daughter was a bit like yours. Slow. Tons of help in school, earning B's if she was lucky. She became an event planner. Yes, at first she needed a lot of help, and worked in a team ("Larla, you order the flowers. We order from these three florists. Compare the prices for XYZ and get back to me.") Eventually she rose a bit, and now handles events/conferences/workshops for a large business. She makes good money; it's a happy profession once you learn to deal with inevitable complaints and bad weather; and good for a social person. I agree that the waitstaff/servers have to be quick. There are a lot of these kinds of careers that can cater to your daughter. And who knows what they'll invent in the next few years. Despair in the tween/teen years is common--but you'll be surprised. Pleasantly surprised. [/quote]
