She is bright but lacks the interest and motivaation for a four year degree. If you read the Murray book you will see that there are tons of people who do best working in a field that they have interest in rather that doing mediocre work in an area that they think is punching a ticket.

And college is ticket-punching for many people.

Many of the bright ppl I have known are those who first learn hands-on, and THEN go to college, while then having the discipline and drive to complete it in four years. It also seems to put them well ahead of the book-only learners in testing and jobs.
