Degree planning for teen
#16
To echo what the other poster said. I agree that there is no need to rush when you are young. Over the years, I personally met multiple people who got their bachelors degree at 18/19/20, but it was a general degree. Then they went back for their actual degree for what they wanted to study. However, it screwed them over because 2nd degrees are not eliglbe for any scholarships. It also screws things up for internships. Honestly, the people I met who got their bachelors at 18 seemed no better off and if anything it seemed worse. But this is just one person opinion.

You are right that everyone is different. As long as you know the risks of getting a degree young and your kid wants I see no problem with it. It's your life. You make whatever choice you want. However, just know that there are drawbacks of getting a degree at such a young age and just wanted you to be aware.
