D16 is our oldest. She is a top 15%, 3.04 weighted GPA, great EC student. She would like to eventually be a Nurse Practitioner or a Doctor. There is a University in our area (actually my alma mater) that has a direct entry nursing BSN program that she is qualified for on stats and we can afford without loans. There are also 3 viable back ups that we can afford but she would be prenursing and would have to apply for her seat.
I keep hearing all this stuff about high school students working. I worked from the time I was 15 (walked there BTW) and put myself through college twice waiting tables and bar tending. I get the value of hard work. But is it terrible that instead of working for a check she has a volunteer job in the Emergency Room actually interacting with patients?
TIA
