It sounds like your brother's friend's daughter and mine could use a big dose of reality. Perhaps they can talk her into starting out in junior college (mine honestly doesn't even seem interested in college) to be more fiscally prudent, especially if she wants to go into nursing. Why not? My step mom is a surgical nurse who also teaches college courses at a junior college. She too believes those who want to help others should not harm themselves financially.

Perhaps you could possibly pass on some knowledge for your brother's friend.

Considering her inexperience with bodily fluids and by-products, she may change her mind.

What the hell is up with these kids?
