[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody thinks the gap year will backfire? Nannies make good money compared to peers at 18-25. But their potential for advancement and higher salary dead ends.[/quote]

At which point the OP's sensible, level-headed daughter will realize that she needs to go to college. This is also the experience of the nannies who have posted on this thread.[/quote]
The barrier of going to college in your mid-20s just to get a bachelors is much harder to overcome than just doing it while you have the momentum at 18. I have a friend who got a job as a secretary right out of school making 40k when the rest of us were making 25k and she is still a secretary 20 years later. [/quote]

I'm a legal secretary. I earn $76k a year, give or take a little depending on overtime. My cousin has a masters degree and is a reporter, earning 10 grand less than me. My other cousin has a masters and is a teacher, also earning less than me. So being an educated person is great, sure, but formal education is not everything. They are 40 and 43, and both have student loans. I have no student loans. [/quote]

It's also how you manage your degree and your money. It seems like your cousins managed poorly.[/quote]
