[b]Not OP but picking a major in 11th grade seems late. [/b]

OP - industrial engineering is great for intuitive, analytical people. The only downside is because it is engineering, she would need gen ed science classes/labs. As a career, it may be great for her, but she'd have to suffer through heavy science in college. [/quote]

Comments like this are why I can’t take this board seriously half the time. [/quote]
Sorry.  Some kids need direction and guidance.  I'm with OP.  She can always change lanes later, people!   If kids are open to guidance from parents, I say let 'em have it.  Too many times, parents ease up on giving their opinions for fear of being pushed away.  It would be a parenting fail no to provide guidance at a point when the kid is genuinely interested.[/quote]

Sorry, but saying “picking a major in 11th seems late” is ridiculous. So so many kids go to college undecided. 11th grade is late, no matter how you spin it. If someone is interested in figuring it out early on, then go for it. [/quote]
