If she isn't willing to put in the effort, i.e. classes, tell her to give up now. Acting requires a high degree of personal discipline and committment. It's not just about standing in front of people looking pretty. If she wants to succeed as an actress, she's going to have to do a lot of things she doesn't like; hours of preparation for a role, hours learning how to prepare a role, hours learning how to execute what you've prepared and more. Good acting looks effortless - it isn't - it can take years to get to the point where it looks like you're not acting.

liking school or not, she's not going to get anywhere without some training. acting isn't just something you do, like walking, it's a craft that needs to be learned.
the best thing you can do for her is put her in some very reputable classes with skilled teachers who will be able to develop her talent (if she has any) and provide both of you with guidance (if she sticks with it and decides she wants to pursue it).
you have to teach your daughter that there is no job in this world that requires no work or effort...and for all the famous people there are in hollywood, there are thousands of underpaid, starving actors out there. deciding you want to be an actor doesn't automatically mean fame and fortune and a chance to marry orlando bloom:)

Well first you should stop telling her every day that she'll get ripped off-perhaps you are attempting to guard her against something that happened to you but one way to avoid people getting ripped off is to build strong,well informed character and not to instill fear for fear cripples people,holds them back. Then too school is not the same as acting classes for acting is something she really seems to be interested in and kids always do well when they like what they are doing. Enroll her and see what happens for its not like you are making a life long commitment. Sorry but you seem a bit on the pessimistic side perhaps because of things that happened to you in your life. You need to build strength,character-principles to live by,have her believe in herself-vital,important for anyone to succeed in anything including acting. If she has talent well then encourage it,let her know that you can see her talent and that YOU believe in her and stand by her . As her mother those are your responsibilities-to get her ready to be a strong adult. Perhaps too by believing in her and helping her and supporting her in acting classes you'll start believing in life again too. Good Luck

Study theatre early and real literature and plays. Classical education. Remove the TV. Then, you will know if she really likes acting and not just Hollywood. Fame is a myth. Drama is a good major if approached as a formal art. If approached as anything else it is not too good.

You did not say in which city you live. If you live in New York City, there are many good choices for acting lessons for your daughter.
If you live elsewhere, call the Head of the Theater Department at the Universities in your city. Ask him/or her to recommend acting schools, or, teachers, in your city. You can also call the Community Theaters (and professional theaters) and ask them the same question.
If you speak with the professionals, they can guide you, since they know the "right people" with whom you should meet and talk with in your city.
Good luck.

If she doesn't respond well to formal classes there are a number of children's drama companies around the country where she can learn by doing. Check them out carefully, though, and be an active volunteer parent to know what's really going on.

classes and camps are worth the time, effort and money so go for it so she can get good practice. than go online for auditions. once people see her in plays or even just comercials they may want to sponser her so you wont run the risk of being ripped of because they are at your mercy

First, make sure it's something SHE wants to do, and is old enough to have her own thoughts on it. Secondly, if that's the case, YOU will be busy driving her to auditions. Get head-shots made and get agenta.

If she doesn't even want to bother with acting classes, then she doesn't want it bad enough.
