Friends refusing to use their brains
What do you do with friends that have a good head on their shoulder but simply refuse to use it?
The girlfriend of one of my closest friends snoozed through high school, then tried one year of 'Tourism' at college, but she hated it so she quit.
That was a year ago and now she's been working at a bakery store full time and I have the sneaking suspicion that she intends on marrying my friend and living of his money.
Everybody keeps telling her to go to college while she still has the time so she can make what she's worth but she doesn't seem to have any interest in college and changes the subject as soon as it comes up.
The friend himself has already told her that like hell is he goanna support her staying at home, she'd have to contribute.
Has anyone ever had any experiance with this? Has anyone ever BEEN in a situation as the girl in question and regretted it later... or perhaps not?
It's not supposed to be my problem off course, but I hate to see a friend waste her godgiven talents while others would kill to be in her position.
