DS>DD> I thought she was gonna join Hooligan's Navy and go bust 
DS>DD> drug smugglers. Or was that a failed plan???

DS>She loves the idea of being at sea and serving in the USCG.  She 
DS>really hated the idea of all the engineering and science courses 
DS>she'd have to take to get into the academy.  Creative arts are 
DS>her strong suit - writing, cooking, photography, design - and 
DS>math/science are her Achille's heel.  So she started looking at
DS>alternatives.  

DS>/shrugs

DS>Kids.  How can I expect her to know what she wants to do at 18, when
DS>I still have my fingers in a thousand interests at 47?

DS>Anyway, as it turns out, she might have been able to get into the
DS>Academy anyway if she had wanted to.  Her cumulative GPA for
DS>high school was 3.89 and she has a knack for standardized testing.
DS>Instead, she's going to take a bunch of different courses at the
DS>local community college to see if she can work out what she really
DS>wants to major in...then we can transfer her credits to a degree
DS>program at a 4-year college.

That works out pretty well for many people. I did something similar (on 
a different schedule - attending a Community College then an "upper 
division" school. After I got the Masters from Sangamon State they got 
absorbed by the University of Illinois. Then some bozo called me to ask 
if I'd like to spend U$85 to have my degree "upgraded" to a more 
prestigious U of I degree. As if!
