4. Good to hear about some right headed kids willing to work. Parents did good!

Good majors in school too. Math majors with advanced degrees are much in demand in many fields. And electrical engineering has lots of options too from micro and digital to power plants and everything in between. My kid is an EE and he went the digital route with Apple and now Microsoft but when he graduated the power companies were begging for applicants. It's not as leading edge and well paid as the tech world but as my kid is now learning it is also less subject to lay offs. He's okay for now but he has only seen high demand and multiple job offers until the layoffs started so he is watching as friends that were highly paid are getting laid off and no longer getting great job offers.
