She wants to be a surgeon (not because of the money but because of her interest). She is mostly interested in general surgery. I attribute it to her having her appendix removed when she was in kindergarten.

Since she plans to stay home for her B.A. I already have the money saved for her tuition and books. I told her med school is on her ($200K+ if she can get into our state med school). She is considering scholarships like the medical services (military and civil service) as well as serving in underserved areas like rural or Native American reservations. These opportunities will help with the student loan debt.
