While watching Texas play on the Longhorn Network commentators were talking about Erin Shireman and how she will be graduating with a degree in Aerospace Engineering and going to work for NASA right after graduation. Very impressive earning that while playing for a major D1, to say the least. (quick side note...Shireman worked the UT camp my daughter attended and was an incredibly impressive and genuinely nice woman too)
I was then reading Yocoachs post about a program not wanting his daughter to study nursing. That got me curious to find out from those of you who have a daughter in (or entering) college, how forthcoming were the coaches about not wanting their players to have demanding degree paths? When did you bring this up with them; in introductory letter, first visit, once they were interested etc? My DD is just in 7th grade and will probably change her mind 100 times, but as of now, she does well in and likes chemistry and physics and wants to study something in that area. Is there anywhere that you have found that shows what degree type each programs seniors graduated with?
