Heart Broken Mom

And we all know that all of the MBAs from recent years are in trouble right now, despite the feeling even just one or two years ago that an MBA was a ticket to easy street. The best advice for our kids, I believe, is that they follow their hearts and try to do what they really love. There are no guarantees about ANY jobs these days. The world they will be inheriting is a very different place from what it was, or even from what it is right now. If we have learned anything, I think it is that people should be true to themselves, find something that is interesting to do, and do it with responsibility. They will find their ways, like most of us have found ours. OP-- you need to back off. Now. Find a way to describe yourself as a Proud-Hearted Mom, rather than a Broken-Hearted Mom. Your child sounds pretty darn terrific.
