the kids are both employed!!!

[Sharon & Monty]

My daughter and her bf moved to Boston after graduating from college.  Why?  Cause its a great city, lots of opportunities.  yeah sure....... took like a year and  a half till they both found real jobs in their fields of study.  Obviously as a mom I have been very worried.  I send money (unsolicited) but I knew damn well that that 25 pound bag of rice would only last so long. They have lived very very lean, no car, no cable for tv and so forth.  However no complaints nor requests, which of course causes mother to send another checkl  geez.  Anyway a year and a half after graduation they are both employed full time with real benefits!!!! YAY.  Of course during this year I tried to lure them back, they insisted this would work out.  Oh to be young again and so positive.  I'm so relieved and so proud my kids are making it!!!  My girl said they are eating like Kings!! wow.  The worst part is......they are now making nearly as much money as me and DH!!  lol

What great news! I can relate! DH and I lived in Vancouver for several years after graduating, only to end up working retail. We have recently moved to his parents to save money, and hopefully we will get jobs in our fields soon. Its a tough world out there!
