We have been fairly fortunate in that everyone seems fairly supportive, at least on the surface. I think they all realize that a lot of us aren’t doing any type of work related to what our degrees are in so once D has her degree, she can do other type of work than MT if necessary. I have to admit that I have had my doubts at times although I try to keep it to myself. My D has unbelievably expensive taste in clothing, vacations; heck - in everything! She seems to have no concept of budgets. If there is a sale, forget it! She will buy something ridiculously expensive and justify it with " but Mom- it was on sale for 40% off" . I am not sure how this girl will ever survive in the MT world. Like SnapDragon, we keep telling her she’d better find someone really, really rich to pay her bills and support her while she auditions!
