I was always told by guidance counselors that jobs that show responsibility and service for others look good on college applications.
Plus if she shows she has an in with a billionaire, maybe even has a letter of reference, the colleges might smell donation money. Seems like a sound plan to me.

As a reader choosing a book, all I want to know about that is:
Does she navigate a dangerous web of lies, deception and evil ?
or
Does she rely on her martial arts training and her dad's .45 to fight for the baby's life?
or
Does she summon the spirit of her sorceress mother?
That's enough to tell me what kind of book I'm holding.
The rest I should want to discover while blissfully immersed in your narrative!
