My 17yo DD went to college in September. Due to hospital admissions and a diagnosed issue requiring an operative procedure she dropped out around Christmas.
She now wants to go work, and has a job offer, in a call centre full time. She has limited GCSEs and doesn't have Maths at C+.
I think she should suck it up and go to college for her Maths and a vocational course. She counters she is fed up of not having money, and has been unsuccessful obtaining a part time job for the past year.
So, should I "make" her go to college and put my door down? Should I allow her to go off to work in a dead end job? The salary is good for her age, but wouldn't be good even in five years after gaining a college Maths and vocational qualification. So, AIBU? How do I explain my stance to DD?
