Having the rest of the semester doesn't guarantee that she'll think of this one.

Thanks, Faith. Truly the purpose of this thread was to have fun and look back at all the things we wanted to do and what we ended up doing.
DD18 has a great advisor who has been working with her on this as well. I have been very impressed with her advisor thus far and she has been helpful in guiding DD18 and making suggestions. Based on what DD18 is interested in as well as her natural skills and talents, home ec. is not a good option for her. It would be like telling a person who hates the site of blood to be a phlebotomist. She is not interested in any of the career options for a home ec major except food and even at that she wanted to study the chemical breakdown of food within the body; the effects of all the chemicals we add to foods through processing/agriculture on food, nutritional value, and the body; and things like that.
I remember I also wanted to run an orphanage when I found out I couldn't have 100 kids. LOL
