Perhaps my wording was not as eloquent as it could have been. I'm not attempting to be her friend. I'm attempting to help my kid navigate her decisions for post high school education and I'm woefully uneducated in that which she is trying to determine. If she were interested in medical school, which is my field, then having a conversation with her about trending specialities, the future of surgical robotics etc. would not be considered pressuring her. It would be the same thing millions of parents across the country are doing to ready their children for college. However it isn't medical school, and I don't think I should be faulted for trying to at least be able to understand the terminology of some of her thoughts and concerns?
