      Good news indeed! Buckle up, buttercup!

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              Congratulations

              My daughter went to CNU, that began the chain of events that has me living in Smithfield

              CNU is a good place, it is still a fairly new, safe campus.

              It is expensive, but is a good deal compared to similar schools around the country. It is about the same cost as Tech. If we ever get past the covid, the Ferguson Center will reopen, that is a good place.

                Fingers crossed for Tech too...

                        My son's first year of college didn't go too well - his grades were fine, but he absolutely hated the experience, so he's working for a year to pay it off, and trying to figure out what's more appealing than mechanical engineering. Pan handling is one option, I guess.

                        I was only joking

                            He getting any ideas? I really shouldn't have gotten the degree that ai did. Had I done what you're son is doing, I would have saved a ton of time.

                              He's pretty clueless. His best subject at HS was probably history, but he knows that would be a complete waste of money, and he has no interest in teaching. He really needs something moderately technical, but without too much math. We shall see.

                              The one good thing about Covid is that it was a perfect excuse for him to take a year or two out, and discover what working in retail is like, which might provide some motivation to get back on the engineering bus (at least that was our plan).

                                    How much money does he want to make?

                                    Money isn't really a motivation for him at this point at all. Obviously that could change, but I think he's more concerned with finding something he likes.

                                    If he doesn't mind working with people, consider nursing. Lots of job opportunities, not overly technical, you can advance to a nurse practitioner (if you wish) and the administrative jobs sport a disproportionate number of men. Plus, you're a guy surrounded by a ton a gals your age...All you have to do is pick the height, the weight and the size.

                                      He's great with people (although he doesn't know it) - not so good with blood and gore.

                                      I was only joking

                                        He could study psychology and go into marketing. Or anything actually.

                                          He getting any ideas? I really shouldn't have gotten the degree that ai did. Had I done what you're son is doing, I would have saved a ton of time.

                                          He's pretty clueless. His best subject at HS was probably history, but he knows that would be a complete waste of money, and he has no interest in teaching. He really needs something moderately technical, but without too much math. We shall see.

                                          The one good thing about Covid is that it was a perfect excuse for him to take a year or two out, and discover what working in retail is like, which might provide some motivation to get back on the engineering bus (at least that was our plan).

                                          Maybe some sort of “information technology” degree? Good luck!
