Daughter graduating early

[MLCKAA 547]

My daughter called me yesterday.  She told me she’d just met with her academic advisor and she’ll be completing her bachelor’s degree in 3 years instead of the typical 4.  Happy and excited for her, proud of her, happy for myself and my bank account.  What an excellent bombshell!

Outstanding.  Though a girl with that focus is likely to have her eye on grad school so your bank account may not be out of the woods yet.

Congratulations, that's amazing!!!

She’s always been a highly effective person.  She accumulated 32 college credits during high school, so that’s how she’s accomplishing the early graduation.  For a time, she planned to do med school but she told us a few months ago she’s decided not to.  A year or two in the workforce may lead her to choose a graduate degree down the road, though.

Great news. Great parenting

Man what the da fawk is happening.  Grand daughter?

Seems like yesterday we were all a bunch of 20-and-30-somethings talking more about popcorn and hilarity rather than politics.  (I don't know how many of you remember this, but the Geek Board used to be described/captioned as "Popcorn, Hilarity, Politics"

Congrats!

That's awesome!  Does she know what she wants to do?

What is her degree going to be in?

She’s a psych major.  As mentioned, she had considered med school but has now ruled that out.  The psych major is desirable across many industries.  She doesn’t know exactly, but she’ll be pursuing internships for summer 2024 and that might narrow things for her.  I won’t be surprised if she wants to pursue something working with kids or disadvantaged populations in some regard.  Or she might decide she’s ready to start earning an income and look at HR,  management, marketing, etc.

Cool.  Since she is graduating early, if it is her thing, maybe she could take the summer off, do some (hopefully not expensive!) traveling, see the country or world.  Once she starts in the real world, you know...

HR would destroy her soul.

Ohhhh...okay....wait....did someone else have GRAND daughter post on the page today?  Sorry...I was half awake.  I was scanning the page.  Saw a couple topics that I thought about posting on.   Musta posted on the wrong one.  I could swear the word grand daughter was in my brain.   Sorry man....

But still... Congrats!

PS.  Granddaughter isn't far off.

 

Also,  I just scanned front page. No talk of grand daughters. Jeez. Where the fock was my head this a.m.     Uhh...what IF....I somehow had a "vision"?   Is your daughter dating someone?  How is she earning all of these extra credits?

She’s dating another chick.  An actual female, not the 2023 mental health version of a female.

Thats great bro. I’m so happy for you and your family! She must’ve been doing school year round. That’s what I did in the AF but I couldn’t take a full course load so it took me a little longer for mine. I encourage every college kid to at least take a few online classes during the summer. Theyre usually easy & can help you get done faster

Haha you hate trannies but your daughter is a lesbian? Sorry to be an ahole but that is pretty hysterical

I hate trannies?  To be fair to you, it’s true that I hate nearly everyone, but my feelings towards trannies would be best categorized as sympathy or pity.  I’m sure I hate most of them as individuals, consistent with how I feel about most people, but as a demographic I basically just feel sorry for them.

Seemed like an angry, spiteful attitude you had towards them as a group

But anyway, sorry, I really don’t want to derail your congratulatory thread. That is really an awesome achievement by your daughter and you must’ve been a pretty damn good dad to have raised such a bright and motivated woman

Couldn’t agree more.  This is something we’d certainly warn her about and, honestly, probably discourage.  But, she’s eager to enter the workforce and be self-supporting which ultimately puts her ahead of so many of her peers, so I’ll be happy for her regardless.

[BunnysBastatrds 2,319]

 That’s great brother. I know you’re very proud. You raised her well sir.

Congrats to you, your family, and your daughter friend.

Quite an accomplishment and quite a large savings of money.

Kudos!

She'll have an extra year of Dad's money so she definitely should spend it!

Unlike my son who went with the 6 year college plan.  & no,  graduate school was not part of it.
