If your teenager had a wonderful work opportunity would you rather her take it or go ahead and start college?

I actually would keep the job and take cles around where you live in the evening to further what you are doing at work. You will be further ahead in the future. Already in a job you want in a field you are pursuing. It does not get much better than that. Living at home at your age is not a big deal. A lot of kids live at home until they get a job and save some money or while they are going to school. You cannot turn 18 and just move out. You start life out in the hole that way. You cannot base what you do by what your friends are doing. Life is completely different once you get out of school.
