[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody thinks the gap year will backfire? Nannies make good money compared to peers at 18-25. But their potential for advancement and higher salary dead ends.[/quote]

At which point the OP's sensible, level-headed daughter will realize that she needs to go to college. This is also the experience of the nannies who have posted on this thread.[/quote]
[b]The barrier of going to college in your mid-20s just to get a bachelors is much harder to overcome than just doing it while you have the momentum at 18.[/b] I have a friend who got a job as a secretary right out of school making 40k when the rest of us were making 25k and she is still a secretary 20 years later.

It's not such a difficult barrier if your parents still intend to pay for it and support you while you go to college. My parents were willing to pay for my college education even though I didn't go until I was in my upper 20s. I was very fortunate and I am very grateful that my parents paid for my education and that my spouse was able to support me (I worked just part time) while I was in school. I agree it's tough for people in their 20s to go back to college if they need to support themselves, but it sounds like OP might be planning on supporting her daughter when that time comes.
