8. I nearly had a stroke when my daughter told me she wasn't going
back to school for her junior year of college. She had no interest in any major other than English, and didn't want to teach, go to library school, or any of the other things I suggested. She didn't want to waste any more money.

She found a full-time job with TJ MAXX as a department coordinator making $9.50/hr and her insurance costs her $10/week. She lives here while she pays off her student loans, and could probably JUST support herself when those are paid off. I work at another retail chain with several people who have graduated and have much larger student loan bills, with no luck finding a full time job. I wish she had that college degree, but she is happy and at least she has a job.
