<p>Maybe, deep down, she knows she’s not ready to go to college yet.</p>
<p>Either way, it’s probably not a good idea to <em>make</em> her go to college. Plus, the more you push her, the more likely she’ll love the idea of tattoo artist. Personally, I would say, “OK, sounds good. Let me know if you change your mind. If not, I’ve always wanted a cool dragon above my butt…” (That right there might push her to college!)</p>
<p>I went to college right after high school. Worst thing I could have done. i wasn’t ready, maturity-wise, and bombed completely. A few years later, after working and supporting myself, I grew up and decided I wasn’t getting anywhere. I went back to school, did very well, and am now looking at grad school.</p>
<p>Waiting isn’t the worst thing - even waiting while working in a tattoo parlor ;)</p>
<p>Side note - I wonder how laserbrother would react if his D told him this? LOL</p>
