Perhaps you're right, but your daughter has the God-given right to find that out for herself. Money does not mean everything to some people; to them, doing something they like is far more important.

When i was in college (1 of the top 50 in the country), my roommate studied audio engineering because he liked music and it was easy as hell. We graduated and i got a great job as a mechanical engineer designing engines while my roommate had to flip burgers to pay rent. He and all of his buddies that graduated with him in audio engineering had to dive back into their parents pockets even with a four year degree b/c their degree was useless. He quit disclosing that he had a degree in audio engineering and finally found a job, though not much better than burgers. Which seems odd but he claims that potential employers for those types of positions didn't want degreed people b/c they wanted to much to serve a function where their are plenty of talented experienced people without the degree. Currently, he is back in school to get a teachers certificate. If you fail you can always teach. Why get a degree in something if you don't need a degree to pursue it? I would say with either audio engineering or radio announcing (two popular degrees, and impossible to get a job) she has a great chance of ending up back in your wallet after college. Some things are good hobbies, but odds are against you when you try to make a hobby a career. Stay practical and realistic.
