[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- [b]no idea there would be so many relies regarding one word’s various definitions[/b]. Anyway, agree- college degree is uawful, social stuff is good. Good point about transitioning to real world via dorm etc.  DD interested in a field that has low pay prospects but feels it will make a difference in the world. 
Just a thought experiment right now… but Considering a small business for money that also involves passion and then in free time, do volunteer work to save the world. [/quote]

You are new here! While annoying, it is unsurprising that DCUM would derail the thread with something stupid like this. Anyway, I feel like you may be unfamiliar with the skills required to own a successful small business?

Our family, both on my husband and my side, is full of small business owners: auto body repair, construction, auto painting, antique store, driveway paving and a small electronics factory. What they all have in common, is that it is incredibly hard work and a labor of love. You don’t just clock in and out. And it’s very stressful. Also, all of the owners had a hustler mentality very young - by your daughter’s age. The factory owner was a multimillionaire and still going into work on Saturdays at 80 years old.

If your DD hasn’t shown that she is a hustler by now. She needs to go in a different direction.[/quote]
