[quote=Anonymous]One further thought, OP.  I am 8:03.  Is your daughter making this choice out of desire or desperation?  There is a difference.

Desperation is if your daughter is not feeling successful at college then she may be reaching out for something else.  And she may be hoping that this something else might be easier or that she will somehow / someway be more successful at that instead of college.

Desire is doing something that is so engrained in you that it is a natural extension of who you are.  My hairdresser played "hairdresser" starting when she was 3 or 4.  She has always been playing with hair and make-up and clothes and style.  It is what she thrives on.

What would your daughter say if you asked her if she was making this choice out of desire or desperation?  It might be worth it to ask.

Has your daughter gone in to talk to the academic advising center at her college?  Maybe they can help her figure out 1) a better course selection / major that matches her interests, and 2) occupations that will be interesting and fulfilling for her (of which, of course, cosmetology may be one).[/quote]
