I hope this doesn’t sound harsh. I’ve read this entire thread and I’ve seen various suggestions regarding how to make this dream to happen for your daughter, but not many suggestions on how she can help make this dream happen herself. Back in the day, a 4 year college education prepared you for a job… hopefully a higher paying job. It doesn’t sound like you are in a position to support her through 8 years of schooling and I’m not sure many people are. I am very concerned about anyone talking about letting a 17 year old take on that kind of debt for a dream. I am suggesting that in order to pursue a medical career, she consider a “career ready” major like nursing. Work a few years in the field (earn very good money) and see if it sticks. I’m sorry for all of the hardships you’ve endured, but I believe that she needs to understand that you can’t finance her dream for her.
