Like almost every couple we know, Mr. Carnation and I have gone through unexpected job loss, job politics, shocking divorces of friends, sudden deaths of friends and family...I don't want to burst anyone's bubble at all, just advise them to prepare for what they can. Like job loss (make sure you're employable in several fields) and maybe divorces (pick your mate carefully). We don't want our own kids to be pessimists but rather optimists with a healthy dose of reality.
We have seen so MUCH of this-especially the unexpected deaths.
I hate to say this. My daughter is thinking Psychology as well. lol I was 4 hours shy in Psy of a double major.
Several have pointed out that often you don't end up working in the field of your degree-true,true.
Now for the #1 college oriented, parental cliche'-"You need to have something you can fall back on."
Motivational cliche' "The cream always rises."
Newbie, you seem to have drive and determination-I think you have a great start on any path you take, but keep an open mind.
***I DID IT! I DID IT! I MADE SOMETHING BLACK ON THE POST!!!
How did I do that....
