She will need your support, no matter what decision she makes.

I would let her make that decision, but give her some guidance on what

to base her decision on, as opposed to what choice to make.

As others have said, what is the job market and where do the skill transfer

if that job market is low. Math skills are math skills. They transfer.

I'm with JR and Don T., I'm in IT.

I don't think its a bad career choice, although you can work at it your whole

life and with the rate technology changes, still not know what you're doing.

Obviously a lot of IT work has to be done after hours or on weekends and

holidays so we're not interfering with normal business.

I posted recently that I had switched companies last year partly due to the hours.

Other than taking vacation time, I had not had a weekend off in about 8 years and

regularly worked 60 - 80 hour weeks on salary.

That company sent me to China for a month to train people to do my job.

The idea was to follow the sun.

We would work only during the day time here, and have them work in

the daytime there, providing 24 hour coverage while reducing overtime.

It worked out that due to security concerns, we continued our 24 hour

coverage here and added the burden of training new people. :roll:
