Well, not knowing your daughter or what she plans to study, I can't really give advice. After getting my degree, I wished I had gone into social work instead. In the US an MSW (masters in social work) can do therapy but they are more practical in their advice. But, yeah, there are problems there as well, of course!

I didn't really want advice for my daughter, but more a discussion of what you think should be done. I have already warned Maeve that she might find out how her teachers react to certain viewpoints and be surprised by their narrow viewpoint. It does of course depend on the individual teachers, but I have given her a 'heads up'. I don't want to impose my view on her, but definitely don't want a mini dogmatic skeptic. If it turns out that way, it will be interesting. She is quite into astrology, so we're off on the right path.
As Doppelganger suggested here, I have started a thread.
Thoughts?

I have to sign off now, but perhaps you could make a thread about this issue[/B]. I know there are others here with similar worries. And, if I find the time, I can participate. (Wrangling small children is exhausting!) If you do make a thread, please PM me because I miss a lot of threads since I mostly read Skeptiko at work and don't sign in.
