[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 185108, member: 3704"] difficult child resists most discussion about future occupations. However, he has shown repeatedly that he is a wonderful IT support person - both here at home and at his Dad's business. He set up and maintains the wireless networks at both places, he maintains the server for his Dad's Listserv, he provides telephone and web support for his Dad's software company, and he built me (and himself) computers for the work I do when I telecommute. He's simply awesome. Even easy child grills him with computer questions when he visits at home and easy child is a graduate student in computer science. husband and I get a big chuckle out of that. I do think that difficult child thinks about this, though. He recently asked me, "Can you major in Physics or mathmatics in college"? Interestingly enough, when difficult child was 3 years old , his aunt (a major difficult child herself, but that's a story for another time) brought her current boyfriend to visit. Her boyfriend was a professor of physics at a distant university. After he watched difficult child tool around the house for a while he said "Whatever you do, don't let him study Physics. There's not much money in it and the jobs are highly competitive". We thought that was very odd at the time, but he must have seen something in difficult child! [/QUOTE]
