“I’d still like her to adopt the expectation that at some point about half way through the 4 years she needs to decide on something marketable to pay back her college loans.”

At whatever school your daughter attends, she will gravitate to kids who are primarily like her. So…even in a highly pre-professional environment like some of the schools at Penn, there are plenty of kids who are not heavily pre-professional.

What if your daughter decides to be an art major? Will you make her withdraw from school?

Be sure she is aware of the financial burden you expect her to take on…and then let her have some say in whether she is going to take that on. Or…maybe she would prefer to go to a school where she will have little to no financial burden – but can study what she wants.
