[quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I am not a teacher, but I respect them (I have quite a number of friends who are teachers).  I don't think a parent should force, coerce, or even lead a child into a career that they aren't interested in, regardless of their academic achievements.  However, I also know that the majority of students that go on to higher education change their major at least once.  I would recommend that you encourage your child to select a university that has a wide range of majors available and a lot of crossover between majors so that she gets as broad a selection of prerequisite courses as possible.  Many students will spend a lot of time in their freshman, and sometimes sophomore,  years trying to find themselves and what they're passionate about.  If the school has a broad spectrum of choices, she may find something that she is also passionate about that she can switch to in the first year or two of her college career.  As was pointed out earlier, she needs to find her own path, but you can at least make sure that she has the widest range of options available to her as she finds that path.[/quote]
