I think this is a way to help graduation blues. Get a job while you're in school and get experience before you graduate. Makes you more employable.
Good for her. And for you. Sounds like she's going to turn out just fine.
The following is a serious question that I have, because I have a daughter (9years old). Initially, after reading it, I know that people will get red hot, and procede to flame me, however, I do ask it in all seriousness...
When we send our daughters off to college, are we buying into the Feminazi belief that a career is more important then being a wife and homemaker?
When we send our daughters off to college doesn't that put them into the rat race of having to get a job to pay off the debts.
My wife, bless her soul, has been a stay at home mom for the last 13 years. Only recently, has she taken some part-time jobs. She did so because all the kids were in school, and she could still be home when they got home. In all of her part time jobs she worked with other women who had degrees but were doing the same job as her for the same pay.
These other women HAD to work to pay off college/house/cars. Because we bought our house and cars based on my income alone, we didn't start out in the crunch that most couples find themselves in.
IMHO, I think part of the problem begins when parents and girls buy into the idea that they must go to college, then the debt/rat race begins.
Sincerely (flame away)
