Subject: Re: Some good news by TommyT-Bone on 2009/3/28 12:00:25 My son was a late bloomer also when it came to graduating from the university.. His second semester he dropped 3 classes and I turned off the funding. I told him I didn't have money to throw away. When he returned to school on his dime (from student loans) his performance improved dramatically. He graduated several years ago with bachelors in computer science. At the time, he was working for a DOD contractor writing software programs for the various services. Good job making good money with good benefits As a reward for his valiant effort, we paid off his student loans. With no financial responsabilities and unencumbered by not having a girlfriend or wife, he turned in his resignation to his employer. He told me that it was due to the high stress environment. He took a year off spending his meager retirement fund and proclaimed he was now seeking a career in the music industry. Something of which he has no marketable experience. At 30, he hasn't got a pot to piss in, still chasing a dream and taking classes I imagine, to forward his new aspirations. I hear from him sporadically. Never alludes to what he's doing but lets me know he's alive. I wish him all the best in life. It's his life. He has to live it. Success is not always financial. Thank you ........ Thank you very much ........ I now return the podium. |
