"She asked if she could live comfortably on [$80k]..."
Golly Bob,
If she has the same people skills that you have, plus also having
the same independent & stubborn & entrepreneur skills that you have,
plus I'm sure a few from her mother, then nothing less than becoming
a rich successful business owner will satisfy her.
All the toys you have cost big bucks, thats the life style she see as a normal.
If she uses her combined talents as a single unit then she can accomplish
the above, and then investigate other options, like maybe her true calling
is to be a marine biologist.
Totally false for any gifted teenager to experience:
"high school: excruciating boredom"
The availability of technical journals has always been available,
along with textbooks needed to bring one up to speed to read them.
Why spend hours in classrooms that dumb down to near lowest person's ability.
The time a teenager spends in highschool should challenge them,
and if the system can't deliver the parents can insert a learning schedule
that will supply a work/study load to match the student's ability.
So much time & importance to be #1 and proud.
To feed a person's superior talent to an extreme that prevents any kind
of exploration into other areas of natural interest is to limit the person's
ability to know what else is possible.
If she can not look at a list of professions noted as those in history
where a superior intellect is needed, and not be able to say that she has
investigated them one by one and concluded "no interest" to all of them,
then that person has not looked or given the time to look, or simply has
been allowed to keep a focus too narrow.

My Crystal Ball sees Darth at age 23 having a day job
as a teacher to gifted students in a large city, and while
the regular pay for other teachers in the level she works
are not payed that much, Darth has a gift to interact both
with young kids and their adult parents at a constructive
level that leads to a higher success rate for learning,
thus Darth is able to create her own small company
Darth Solo Inc. and charge rates x10 what others charge.
But Darth's day job is only to pay the house morgage
on her big home in the subberbs with 3 arcers of land
that once was a big farm house that now has a dozen
big rooms made into individual office space that contains
musical instrument for use during her day job to teach,
and the single most largest room is where her band meets
after work to practice for the gigs(sic) they perform at each
weekend not for the low pay, but for The Love of Music. |
