Maybe she has a better idea of what she wants and at the very least she has a degree and some companies won't promote you to a management position without it.

The thought of going to UK just to go and racking up $100k in debt is stupid. We watched the big protestors last year crying about all that. I actually agreed with them on that. College is not 100% necessary.......nor does it guarantee anything but debt.
I feel for ya, I been there and know what it's about. when a kid starts college, they don't know what they need to do. I have a Daughter that went to UK about 15 years ago, I spent over 50k for her Education back then, it set me back but gave her a fresh start, it turned out the best money I ever spent, she has done well for herself. spend the money to educate the kids now, or spend it later in life, to pay their bills for them. without an education now days, they don't have much to look forward to.
