It's actually going to happen...
"Dear Lucas,
On behalf of President Paul Trible and the faculty, I take great pleasure in offering you admission to Christopher Newport University."
It's his 2nd choice, we're still waiting to hear from Virginia Tech...
Time to go panhandle

You're welcome. That will $10. Would you prefer to pay by Venmo, Apple Pay, or PayPal?

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.

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.

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).
I was only joking

How much money does he want to make?
