Political Science. What is the science in political science; how to rig a poll to influence public opinion. She can go to work for Rasmussen or Zogby. It was a good exchange. I heard it driving my daughter back from college. I told her here is a kid going to grad school and she hasn’t figured out yet what she wants to do with her life. Sad.
It sounded to me as if she had had a very bad early life and had decided to turn it around. So many don't do that. I really do congratulate her. She emphasized that she is alone, she is working 3/4 time, and of course if she comes from a bad background she isn't properly prepared for college so earning a 3.0 is a struggle. My own kid, who was an honor-roll student at one of the top high schools in the US, was really stunned during her first year in college when she found out how hard it is, and she wasn't trying to work 30 hours a week. So I'm not down on this young girl. She just sounded lonely, scared, and exhausted to me, deeply worried about her college loans, and wondering if she'd made the right choice in taking on those loans. It's okay to feel some doubt sometimes!
