My daughter doesn’t apply herself, she is the type of kid that will schedule the easy classes. She is basically gliding by in highschool. She mentioned she wanted to follow in her aunts footsteps and be an engineer.
She is looking into her new classes ( three new ones) for the half part of the year and I looked over them. Now they were all fun easy classes. I asked if she still wanted to be an engineer and she said of course so I mentioned why she is not trying some math or workshop classes. She told me she didn’t need those.
I sat her down and went to multiple colleges that offer engineering and showed what classes she will need to take. A lot of math, circuits and just a lot of stem classes. I told her it’s a lot of work and she needs to step up now and take some extra Stem classes if she want to go into the field since she has no background at all at the moment.She got quiet and went to her room.
She doesn’t want to me an engineer anymore and my wife is pissed at me. I don’t know if I did anything wrong by telling her the reality of the her degree she wanted.
