You "would not allow it"?? That's one sure fire way to loose your DD.  I went to art school. Have a BFA from a top school and MFA from the top program in my field.  My parents were definitely worried about my ability to find a job after graduation but I'm doing just fine now.  DH also has a BFA from same art school and we both work in our fields of study (he more so than I) and our HHI is over $200k (since that seems to be important to you, OP).

Like a pp said, a lot can change.  Also, if she's really good, and motivated, she'll be fine.  Also agree that the school you go to is VERY important.  So NYU, yes. Towson, no.[/quote]

Yes, I would not allow it. Some choices are allowed to be made by my children. Some are not. They are not allowed to pursue any career that puts their life on the line (military, police, firefighter) and not allowed to pursue a career that burns out their body (sports). If they had chosen to do that, they would not have my support.. You are free to disagree and parent your children the way you think is best. But you will not change my mind. I have four, two of whom have graduated from college. So I'm comfortable with the track I'm on in regards to this.[/quote]

It is a good thing that not all parents think like you.  That would make for a very boring (and dangerous) world.    [/quote]
