DD16 is starting to look at colleges and has picked a career path...so far. I would do as others have suggested, try to get her to think about the factors of the types of work, lifestyle, finances and future options. Does she want to sit at a desk in an office? Do something different every day? Can she imagine a path 5, 10, 20 yrs down the road doing this type of job?

I know it's a lot to think about at such a young age but I wish someone had given me those ideas to think about, what will life after college be like as a working person. That might help her eliminate a few to start. Good luck, it's a tough process!
