[quote=Anonymous]I think you should step back. It's her life, her major. If she picks something and it's not the right fit, she can change. Imbuing it with so much meaning just sends her the wrong message, like a tiny choice can lead to ruin or tragedy. The goal is for her to be empowered to do her own research and make her own choices, and to own them if it turns out that maybe something else would have been a better choice. As parents we have this biological urge to provide for our children and ensure their survival, but dissuading your child from the major she wants to pursue doesn't qualify. All it does it does it tell her that she's not capable of making her own decisions and that every little thing she does is life or death. [/quote]
