    Josie - I so agree. I keep telling my nieces that they need to have an education and not just high school.

      When I was young a HS education was enough to get a decent job--no longer. I got multiple college degrees anyway, because I love knowledge. Push your nieces until it hurts--one day, they'll thank you.
