Invariably, the answer is either "stay in school," (like she has a choice with homeschool, LOL), or "Ohh... Just study what you like and have fun, you've got plenty of time." The latter is good advice, I'll admit, but that's not what she wants to hear. She has to say, "No, really, what did *you* study in college and how did you get this fantastic job?" Then people start taking her seriously.
