<p>I have someone whom I care about very much asking me for school and career counseling.  Very sweet young lady, with a difficult parent situation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No one has really helped guide her toward a career path.  They just said, "go to college."  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>What would you do?  She doesn't have money for expensive career counselors.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>She's finished all of her basics and now wants to attend a 4 year, but doesn't know what she wants to major in, but she doesn't want to waste time or money.</p>

<p>Hmm, it's hard even with kids who are motivated.  I got the "What if I don't like my major...?" from the obys.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If she is cash strapped and on her own the concern is genuine.  What about something in terms of a profession like nursing where there's a definite job at the end of the rainbow?</p>

<p>There's nothing wrong with a liberal arts degree either ya know.  Just saying.  If anything it is a solid grounding in, as you put it "the basics", and it is a piece of paper...</p>
