<p>She needs to study, study, STUDY. She needs to get the absolute best OOM she can manage so that when the time comes she can kick back and enjoy the freedom that comes with having plenty of juicy options to choose from. She will have all the time in the world over the next 2.5 years to determine what she wants to pick when the time comes, but she has to have the OPPORTUNITIES open, not just the DESIRES.</p>
<p>I’m sorry to keep banging on the same old drum, but here I am, 17 YEARS after getting the “We regret…” letter from Nuclear Power School, and I STILL ache from it because it was MY OWN STUPID FAULT. I would spare your daughter and every other Mid a similar experience if I could, but all I can do in that regard is to sound the warning over and over and OVER again, so I do. </p>
<p>If I sound like a broken record in the process, then so be it. I don’t do this to be popular, just to help.</p>
