[quote=Anonymous]OP, calm down, you're overreacting because you've been spoiled by your ever-obedient DD for the past 19 or 20 or so years.  For every kid that changes major at a TOP 10 school, I can tell you more than a handful of kids who totally flunked and messed up their lives while in college.  Be grateful that your kid has her head and heart in the right place while she's pursuing something that is motivated by her passion rather than intermediate future "success".  If she is as smart and as you say she is, she'll turn out absolutely fine and will live a comfortable life (and financially independent if that's your worry) as she sees it.  Also, if she is as intellect as you say she is, she can still land in a good grad program (B-school or law school if that's what you want to hear) even with a "crappy" job like being a teacher.

At this point, there's no reason to pout in front of her and be grateful that she's trying to make an actual difference in people's lives rather than being a cog in the machine in the private sector.   [/quote]
