College is a stepping stone towards learning about navigating as well as what might be a good fit in terms of making a living n something that fits with ones abilities and personal talents.

Thank you Open Eyes!! Your input on this matter is appreciated more than you know. I found your insight extremely helpful! You mentioned some things that I had not thought of and you caused me to look at this issue from different angles. I feel much better about approaching this issue with my daughter having read your comments and I definitely will be having a gentle and calm discussion with my daughter on this issue when she comes home for the thanksgiving break. I've been lying awake at night worried over how to approach this situation correctly. Your comments have helped me to figure out how to do that. Thank you so very much!!
