That is pretty much what I have been telling her - get the general ed classes out of the way, do something that you enjoy and have a passion for, the rest will follow in time. But, it all needs to come from inside her and she has to figure this out on her own as it is her decision. She'll get there.

That is an awesome career choice and very rewarding.
