DD1 is going to start applying for Uni this year. Her two choices are photography or Chinese. She currently does photography, psychology and Art at A level. She did Chinese at school and did so well she got the top mark in the county. Unfortunately nowhere does Chinese locally at A level or she would of done that.
Her wanted career is to teach Chinese so obviously she needs to do a Chinese degree.
Her, that would be fun career is to be a concert photographer. She does local gigs now for experience and loves it.
Her college tutor told her that Chinese is a crap degree and she doesn't need it and it won't get her anywhere. Well if she wants to teach it then a degree is pretty much a must. She wants her to do photography, I am wondering if that is because she is studying that at college and it looks better if you progress.
Anyway DD1 is now feeling all torn and not sure about what she wants. She has a history of mild depression and will just turn herself off from study if she feels her choice isn't important
