[quote=Anonymous]I think it's fabulous that your daughter wants to do something outside the norm. I wouldn't worry about job prospects; I think companies will value her individuality and initiative. I also wouldn't worry about the distance or overseas factor. I went 900 miles away to school (pre-internet. In fact, pre- free long distance phone calls). It's kind of like being dumped into the deep end of the pool, but it's also an incredible experience, and you come out feeling really self-confident. I wouldn't put every kid in this position, but the fact that she's so excited tells me she'll be fine. You're looking at it through your own viewpoint, which makes it hard to understand. (That's not supposed to sound like criticism, btw; just a fact). It also sounds like you'll be fine too - even though you're worried, you aren't holding her back. Good for you! [/quote]
