College Search

We're in the middle of a college search here and are trying not to push our ideas about degrees vs employment. Lil Pete is excited about her last visit as she was about the last before that. Industrial design is her present target and it appears to be appropriate for her skill set. I'm watching another family close to us doing it without communication. They are making their daughter visit a school she doesn't like for the 4th time. They're pushing her towards programs she isn't suited for or interested in. They've made a fight out of what should be the most exciting important decision a kid gets to make. They've raised her to be wishy-washy so she has no idea how to tell them to f*cking stop!

Any thoughts on the process?
