Great to read about your kids!
Our son spent 4 years in the Air Force as an MP while they schooled him in computer programming. After that stint he couldn't get school funding because, you know, he wasn't the right color. So he worked his way through school for his degree and got a job at the
National Center for Supercomputing Applications where he continued his education. He gave us a tour a couple years ago. WOW!
Now he is a System Administrator there.
He is married with three wonderful children. I never asked him what he earns, but judging from the house they bought last year, he is way ahead of me.
Our daughter had a Presidential Scholarship to a liberal arts school in California. Fortunately, liberal wasn't as bad then as it is now. None of that protesting and crap, just goofy fun.
After graduation she moved back home and began as a teaching assistant for a special needs class near home.
When she moved to Brooklyn, NY she was put in charge of the first ever special needs class in the district.
The principal at the school she worked in didn't want to allocate any resources for special ed so she wrote letters requesting donations. Some of the largest corporations in the US responded. Within two years she was in charge of special ed at 7 schools in the district.
Then she married and right now she is at home raising her first baby, but she plans to return next fall. She misses the kids.
