[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH's brother was like this. Was SO THRILLED to be done with high school and had zero interest in college.  He worked a handful of low paying jobs, making just enough to make ends meet but nothing beyond that.  Now, 10 years later, he's realizing that this isn't the life he wants for himself and he made the choice to go back to school and get a degree in, of all things, math and chemistry.  A double major, in possibly two of the hardest fields he could have chosen (and he's doing well, too!)

Hang in there, let her know you love and support her in whatever route she takes towards independence.[/quote]Agree with this.  There are lots of classes that I would have taken after having been out of school for a few years because I knew they were important to my goals --- but when you go straight to college and you're not sure why you're there, it's hard to get motivated to study something just because it [i]might[/i] be useful some day later on in life.

OP, your kid might be one of those people who finds her own way to success and we'll all be marveling at her independence and maturity years from now.[/quote]
