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.
Again, I appreciate the input but we are pretty set on the path and we have a myriad reasons as to why this is the best path for this person. I understand everyone has an opinion, but I would sincerely appreciate no further advice regarding waiting as it is simply not something we are considering.
Please understand with absolutely all due respect that I know this person better than anyone else posting here and this is the path that is best. Thanks.
