[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a DD who is more than smart to become a Dr. but will she put in the work?  That is an issue.  Everything comes so easy to her, and now when it is time to sit down and really study, for you have to study in high school and even if you are as smart as anything, unless you open the book.. Still has great grades, but that won't continue with taking so many AP and Honors classes, she has to really warm the chair, so to say. But, what is driving me crazy is FIL who is constantly telling her that she should be a PA and to stop thinking about being a medical Dr.  First, it is none of his business, and second, why not aim higher and then, if it doesn't work out, there will be other options.[/quote]

FIL is a smart man your daughter would be wise to go the  PA route.

ALso, why can't a grandparent give advice on a career? [/quote]

Because it is none of his business. As long as we can afford it it is my DD's decision and hers alone.  If she wants to collect trash, that is up to her. And why would she be better off as a PA than as anything else she might wish to do?  Or be a SAHM, or stay at home wife, of WOHM work at home? It is not about an occasional observation, it is about FIL calling non stop and trying to convince my kids that the only two professions worth anything are PA and accountant, yes accountant for a boy, PA for a girl. On and on, non stop, researching schools, telling them which ones to go to. How can you be ok with that?[/quote]

Wouldn't bother me, but I'm from a background where grandparents do this type of thing.[/quote]
