My daughter is currently in a CAD program and is the only female left after a couple semesters.
She chose it because she enjoyed the portion on CAD while in an engineering type class while in high school, plus her tuition is paid for while in the program. I’ve been dropping hints about moving on to civil engineering or architecture once she gets done next year.
Earlier this week she said she’s strongly considering mechanical engineering. However, I’m wondering if I possibly pushed her into thinking that. Obviously we all want our kids to be successful but I don’t want her to resent whatever she chooses.
How much of an impact did you have on your kid’s choice in what they majored in?
