I am not sure the US is the place to look for opportunities. If I was a student now, I would look to China or South America. Now that the economy (watching CNBC now) is really hitting the rocks and heading for a decade of problems, job growth should be negative. The government has to cut back (where most growth has come from) and company CEOs are being interviewed and saying they are thinking of cutting back or maintaining. Except CISCO, Raddy you should contact CISCO in the UK. They were hiring 5000. Though the CEO did say their clients were not positive.
But the good news, is that a highly gifted kid can usually do well trading. And in the history of the world, there is always a market. I am planning to teach DD(almost 6)how to trade in a few years so that she can support any passion. There is always a market in something. And you can make money up or down.
It does require a certain personality, but that is another story.
Otherwise, I hope that she has options with all the crap and overscheduling I provide for her.
