Thanks for the insight. I do understand that it is possible for both, but it would be hard and extremely taxing to get up at 4 to milk 70 cows, go to school with 3 AP classes and numerous other hard classes, go to cross country/ track practice and stay same and healthy. Possible, yes, but I don't want to burn myself out. I will work next summer and during basketball season(I don't play basketball). Thanks again for the insight.

The concussion may possibly be the deal breaker here.
However on the job front, how many of you that are telling her to do it all have ever milked one cow let alone 70. Even with modern milking technology this is a big job with alot of responsibility. Livestock handling, veterinary issues, sanitation, etc and those cows have to be milked twice a day 365 days a year. Fortunately, it sounds like her boss is going to work with her on a seasonal basis to allow her to do a couple of sports.
If the AF actually want diversity, this is somebody who will give them that and more.
Good luck!
