Can I brag on my son here??? Yes? OKAY!!!! :D :D :D

He got a massive new promotion. Not QUITE global, but getting there. (Semi global). And he got a big raise. And he adopted a deaf dog and is teaching the dog sign language in his spare time! He has to travel ALL over two continents, and does nothing but meetings, meetings, meetings. (Man, I feel so sorry for him! I always hated meetings!).

Anyway...just be grateful I didn't pull out my wallet and make you look at baby pictures...🤣🤣🤣

My oldest is out on his own and on a pretty good path as well. Great to see them succeed at college and their early career. Mine started paying on his student loans recently. So glad we were able to keep that at about the cost of a single semester for him.

@Stillwaiting That's fabulous! AND if he is actually working at a paying job, he is doing better than about 70% of today's college grads.

@4meAndyou Yup .. had three offers and accepted his job before graduation. Working a year and a half now, first couple raises and all. Good luck to you /yours! Harder to do for sure, but there are opportunities out there for those prepared for them.

@Stillwaiting For sure. It's very rare NOW for kids to even KNOW how to work hard, or how to develop the awesome work habits that employers appreciate. I think we were lucky that we passed it on!
