Our daughter was determined to get a degree in archeology. I explained to her there are few to no jobs in that field, but she went ahead and did it and then could not find a job. I told her to go into marketing, but she refused and then got a Masters in International Relations. Once again, no job. She is now doing marketing on a very low level and wonders why she spent all that time and money for no apparent bennies. I do too, but what's a dad supposed to do when they reach the age of self-determination?
I hear you. All those nimrod guidance counselors saying, "Follow your bliss!" and "The money will follow!"
And little junior doesn't have the education yet to ask..."Did you follow your bliss into guidance counseling?"
It's a matter of wishful thinking--but you cannot daunt the determined fool. Not your fault. Hope you didn't get suckered into debt--that I will NOT do...
"International Relations"? What is that?
At least your daughter made a poor judgment in what to major in as opposed to dropping out of college.
Most jobs don't require a specific BS or MS, only a generic "4-year degree"... if specific education is required, it's usually a certification like being a CPA, right? So she could always get certified in something-or-other at a community college, and she'll fulfill requirements just fine for most jobs...
