Having a good education will give her options

Having a good education will give her options that will allow her to be average.

If you want to be very successful, in my opinion school is probably not the way to go. I'm in agreement with the original poster there. If you want to make sure you have a 22 year safety net, then school is fine. If I could do it over I doubt I would go to school, unless it was just a party school to have fun, because I learned very little in school that will actually help me become successful.
