Congrats to her for sticking it out. I went for mechanical engineering and decided with 6 hrs to go, I was tired of school and joined the Navy. My mother was not happy, but I told her I knew what I was doing. It was the best decision I ever made. Still to this day, my siblings will ask if I ever plan to go back and finish, and I am like, meh, that was 37 yrs ago, I not too worried about it.
