Just a point of clarification. I'm sure it was already mentioned, but I noticed in the original post that the daughter stated:
she told me that unless you are a pilot, you major doesn't matter
Actually it's the OPPOSITE. To become a pilot, it DOESN'T MATTER what your major is. You can major in history, engineering, political science, behavioral science, or anything else.
As for other jobs and your major, it DEPENDS on what the job is. There are many jobs in the air force that you need a back ground in. I.e. You're not going to be any type of engineer or that type of career field, if you didn't get a major it it. On the other hand, some jobs, like in Special Operations, there isn't a "Major" in college for. Also, there are plenty of jobs like logistics officer, procurement, etc. that the major is not that relevant. But obviously, if you want to be a linguistics officer, you probably needed to know the language. If you want a job in law enforcement, OSI, etc. it probably would be helpful, not mandatory, but helpful if you had your major in something associated with.
But again; pilot is definitely the one job where your major is totally irrelevant. (Unless you want to be a Test Pilot or Astronaut)
Not much help on the subject. But you received a lot of other good input. Your daughter is at that point where she's been there long enough to know if you really wants the military or not. She's also at the point where if you decided not to commit, she doesn't owe anything back. On the other hand; she only has 2 more years to go to get a degree. If she leaves, it will be at least 3 more years to get a degree. Any school she transfers credits too, WON'T TAKE ALL of them. Plus, they'll have their own minimum requirements for a degree from their school. And while it may seem like a long time for her, 5 years of active duty will fly by. Especially compared to 4 years at the academy. So basically; it's the "Einstein Theory". "Law of Relativity". It's all relative to her perspective. As long as she realizes that if she decided to leave the academy, it's FINITE. There's no coming back. ROTC is practically out of the question. (Practically; not 100%). But as long as she understands her decision, then good for her. More power to her, and the best of luck to her.
