Great question and [USER=5218]@Beemer[/USER] hit the nail on the head. So much depends on the individual athlete. There is a young lady that we know, who has a long history of concussions, still playing and taking a lot of contact but she still goes hard (Knock on wood that she continues to be safe out there).

But to answer your question, a lot depends on my daughter and her playing ability and situation. If she was a projected top 10-20 player in the nation and had dreams and goals of playing ball in the WNBA or going overseas to play and suffered two concussions each year and they were progressively worse each time. We would have a long talk about health and long-term consequences. Now if my daughter was a 9th-12th player off the bench and a member of the 20/20/20 club (up by 20, down by 20, or there were only 20 seconds left in the game), there really wouldn't be a need for a conversation. Time to focus on a different career path and hopefully she would have figured that out sooner rather than later.
