My granddaughter has several colleges interested in her. She is very excited, however, there is a naysayer in the family. Every time my granddaughter brings up the subject in his presence he makes comments like, "Swimming isn't your life," or "It is a waste of time because it won't get you a job." If she says, "What if I want to be a swim coach?" He says, "Sounds like a hobby, not a job."
My question, what doors did swimming for a college/university open for you after graduation?
He thinks it a waste of her time--she could be studying or working part time. As for grades, she is in a magnet program where she is required to maintain a 3.5 or better. She also has taken 4 AP classes every year. On top of that she is artistic /exhibits at judged shows and is involved in several civic/service organization. How she does it I'll never know... Ah youth!
