AITA for telling my daughter to either finish her degree or drop it and get a job?

I have a daughter who is 22. She started college right out of high school. I agreed to pay for half her tuition, rent, and expenses while also giving her a part time job at my company. She has barely done any work over the past 4 years and keeps switching majors. She started with biology, then switched to psychology, then to communications, then to art, and now to journalism. I am at my wits end. <br><br>This is her senior year and she still has not done anything. She doesn't go to class, she doesn't do her homework, and is about to fail all her classes. I am so fed up with this. I told her that she needs to shape up or ship out. Either she buckles down and actually does her school work, or she can drop out and find a job. She can't keep living off me and my money. I also told her that if she doesn't get her act together, I will cut her off completely and not pay for anything anymore. She has always relied on me to bail her out and I think it's time she grew up and became an adult and either gets an education or gets a job. <br><br>I told her this yesterday and she flipped. She yelled at me, crying and screaming. She said I was a monster, that I don't actually care about her. She said that if I actually cared about her, I would fully pay for her college like I did for our son. <br><br>I did pay for our son's college, he studied computer science and actually applied himself. He also didn't switch majors 5 times and drop out of college. <br><br>AITA?
