Marrying a rich person is probably the easiest way whether she goes to college or not. The other way would be for you to be (or get) rich and hand her a bunch of money. These two methods have worked for a lot of people.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that what I just said is true, I said it a bit flippantly. From what I understand your D is still young, i.e. not yet or just entering HS - right? In that case I’m surprised her top priority isn’t to have horses and meet that Bieber idiot. In other words, she has a lot of maturing yet to go through and as she does her desires for her life will likely change. This is a normal process for everyone. Your job is to be an enabler to do what you reasonably can to provide her with opportunities in her education and experiences and she’ll end up deciding whether to take advantage of them or not, which path she wants to head down (ex: sciences, technology, arts, various humanities, being a slacker), what she really wants out of life, and eventually you’ll all find out where how it worked out.</p>
