[quote=Anonymous]OP, a lot of people on this board have been raised totally differently than I have and have a different attitude regarding the importance of certain "types" of colleges. The sentiment I see frequently on the college board that you are setting your child up for failure if you don't send him/her to a certain tier of college is one that I don't quite understand. Not everyone is a good fit for a four-year college right out of high school. Have a frank discussion with your DH and stepdaughter about where she sees herself headed and what steps she can take to get there. She has time to bring up her grades, if going to a four-year school of her choice is what she desires. I would be looking for her motivation more than anything else - that will guide your options and allow everyone to feel satisfied with the path you all choose. It's not so much about getting a vote but about what is the right fit for her, and that doesn't necessarily have to be $50k/year.[/quote]
