Your daughter is still very young. Her interests will change or strengthen with exposure to new things, and that's a good thing. Balance is important. The arts and humanities are just as important as the STEM subjects. I know a music major who became a doctor. I know a pre-med bio major who became an elementary school teacher. Kids who love soccer at 10 may discover a love for field hockey or swimming, who knows. At this age, don't limit, expand and allow them to explore. Let them choose their future and be there to support it.

All, My child is almost 2 and can already eat solid foods. She loves soccer and the Coney Island Hot Dog Contest. Should I plan on her being a 2 sport athlete or should she stick to eating contests as we project that to be an NCAA sport by the time she is 18.

I think this is a really good question (I get his kid is pretty young but whatever). I have a U16 daughter thinking about engineering and op is right. Other than the tech schools, you don’t see many soccer players majoring in engineering (haven’t looked at science, premed, etc). Is it too much to play d1 soccer and major in stem? Anyone have any idea?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAccording to one notorious poster D1 actually is easier for med school than D3....24/7 academic support with special tutors and accommodations, a med school guarantee along with the scholarship package, and a strategy involving taking all premed courses during the summer at a community college. So yeah, go for it.
