She's gonna write software for a living and has an extremely lucrative deal lined up. This deal has been in motion for over 6 years.

It's what makes her happy, and she's brilliantly talented at it. It just so happens that she now will be doing what I do, and this is the same kid who said "Dad, I don't want to do what you do".

Software has a much higher upside than engineering. Unless she got into management, she saw in her 3 years of engineering specific internships that the engineers can get trapped in a box. This kid wants no glass ceiling.
