[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 293171, member: 1233"] Well, if she does't want to make a realistic choice for college or take out her own student loans to pay for it the she will have to do something else. It would be different to spend the money for the photography course if she had already spent huge chunks of time learning whatever she could outside the classroom. I can remember spending 3-6 hours A DAY after school working on photography. I did it for 3 years, along with good grades and a 5-6 day a week job. I can suggest what my parents told us, and what Wiz has been told by us and by my parents. As long as we are in school and working, and getting good grades, we could live at home and my parents would pay for the tuition and books. but when my bro stopped going to college and was going to mow lawns and do odd jobs for people (paying $4 or so an hour at that time) then he was told to go and make a life for himself while working these minimum wage jobs. maybe diva needs to be introduced to Job Corp or some similar program? I do think that if you let her live at home with all the luxuries that you and husband work so hard to pay for, well, it will be an even bigger jolt than it is at this time. As for saving the money from her check and getting seconds on food money from you all because she has a piercing, well, I guess it is a good game if you can get it. My mom tol me about a program called reality 411. You can do it at home through the computer. It takes a teen through all the expenses that they will incur if they are on their own. The idea is to give them some sense of how much things cost and how much they would be able to earn, as well as those "necessi-don'Tourette's Syndrome" like cable tv and fancy meals in restaurants.
