[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 208694, member: 1953"] Of course you will adjust. I think I remember from long ago, you mentioning that you live in Michigan. If that is true, you know the job market is horrible here. Lots of young adults are leaving the state to find work. I know it makes you sad that one of the kids is possibly leaving the state. However, please revel in the fact that your son is doing exactly what you raised him to do. He is finishing college, and he is getting a job. My nephew moved from Marquette Mi. to San Diego Ca when he was about 20 years old. He moved with $250.00 and his bike which got stolen. He didn't have a degree. He hardly had any job skills. Well he has been out there a couple of years, in that time he managed to find a job in a diner (with health benefits) he has enrolled in college to be a xray tech. (his employer helps with-expenses for school.) He is doing very well. My sister-in-law who was very upset when he left, has adjusted quite well. She knows he is doing fabulous and he could never do up north in Marquette what he is doing out in California. This very well could be the best decision for your son. For [I]his[/I] future. I'm not trying to be mean, but if he is in another state, you can call him every day if you wish, you can e-mail him anytime. If he has a good paying job, he can still fly home for holidays. I realize he won't be nearby, but he is only a phone call away. Lets not forget, you have a new state to go visit. Where is the job offer? I know you are sad he is possibly leaving the state, but it really will be OK. He hasn't lived at home during college has he? I know you don't see it like this yet, but this is good news for your son. Many companies are not doing that well right now, and it isn't easy finding a job.(especially in Michigan) I hope it is a wonderful opportunity for him. Congratulations to your son for the job offer, and I do wish him the best of luck. Love, Lia [/QUOTE]
