DD has decided to go for her bachelors degree instead of getting a job

[Fullxbusymom]

If it was my child she would be working and going to school. I personally would not be funding her fully.

What is her other degree in? Does she live at home? How old is she?

So tell her, not us. Tell her good luck with that because the bank of mommy and daddy has closed down. She'll just have to get student loans to pay for it.

She doesn't think she needs job experience?

Most of the nurses I know who got their BSN (or are getting it) online while working. Is that an option for her?

I love how everyone claims education is so important but when it comes to paying for it, it’s a different story. You need a BSN to get a high paying job. Even better is Nurse Practitioner. How people don’t want to educate their children is puzzling to me.

This. You really do need a bsn for higher pay. I'm looking at a bachelor's in childhood education with emphasis on special education.
I definitly need a bachelor's for that. Good thing I have credits I can transfer.

Your DD is lucky you two supported her 100% while she got her associates. She needs to work.
Tons of people work FT while going to school FT and paying their own way. I'm doing it now.

She has no excuses.

This is the second time around we have paid for a degree. We made a deal and she is going back on it. She needs to get a job

What was the first degree in?

Mixed feelings.

I am a bit of a work-aholic, so I have trouble understanding how people do not want to work. But some people do struggle working AND doing well in school, despite the current belief, “everyone can do it”.

If you have had a strong, trusting relationship up to this point, you stand your ground and you guys can probably weather through it. She will be upset for a bit but, She’ll find a way. She may have to take out loans.

Do you not need a four year degree to be a nurse where you are?

Tell her you're going to start charging her rent.

Here in the states you can have an ADN (2 yrs) to work as an RN, butttttt hospitals are now requiring a BSN (4 yr).

What is a BSN?

Bachelor of Science in Nursing
