[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't have any specific advice for you, but my brother did exactly this in college. He is mid-50s now and has a good life. Finally married in his 40s, no bio kids for him (and his wife is not expected to be financially responsible for her child). He does not and never will make a lot of money, but he lives in a low COL place, so he has a nice house and a good life. But at the time, the "failure" seemed insurmountable. My mother acted like a college education was the end-all, be-all, and encouraged my brother to go back for years. He would, and then fail out again in exactly the same way. The pattern repeated itself over and over until he basically couldn't go back to school because he had racked up so many F's. Your daughter has shown you that she is not ready to go away to college. Don't do what my mom did.[/quote]
