Time to brag.
« on: May 03, 2013, 06:59:50 PM »
My youngest child graduated from college last Saturday.  His GPA was just over 3.6.  Not bad for a kid that barely made it through High School.

He got a job offer today.

I am proud of my boy.

Congratulations to both of you.  It must be a relief that he found a job.  I'm hearing a lot of college grads aren't so lucky.

"We will preserve for our children (America), the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."  -- Ronald Reagan.

Getting a job right out of college (other than waiting tables) is almost impossible from what I keep reading in the news. Such good news!!!
