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?
I believe strongly that young athletes should continue to pursue their sports as long as they love doing it.
This bright young woman should be exploring every opportunity available to her in college, which it sounds like she is doing.
You shouldn't need much ammunition to shoot down the idea of crapping on her dreams.
