Thank you for the well thought out reply.
I feel like it's a tough situation because she's so young and I realize it's a bit uncommon. I don't know much about business degrees, but so far she has not shown any interest in being a top dog in a highly competitive field. She chose business as her desired major because she's not 100% sure what she wants to do but she likes the idea of working in a office with people or even becoming a real estate agent (which she doesn't need a degree for). She has seen firsthand how not having a degree can prevent you from moving up in a company or even applying for many available jobs so she does know that she wants at least a Bachelor's just to say she has it and hope it helps her qualify for more jobs or upper movement in a job in the future. She also has ZERO interest in continuing education after high school. Hence the desire to gain as high a degree as possible by 18 y/o. She doesn't want to be starting her college career at 18 like most, she wants to already be done and moving on with her life.
I understand there are many downsides to this approach and we've discussed many of them. But I also see the low graduation rates at most colleges and the time and money spent by adults trying to get degrees (statistically speaking I believe less than half complete this goal in 150% of the target time).
I have tried to check the wiki info for several things and the information seems incomplete and the links to the Business Degree plan send me to "You have followed a link to a page that does not exist yet." page.
