Son graduates today
Posted: Sat Aug 10, 2013 10:22 am
I'm headed to Stephenville today for my son's commencement ceremony. He will be receiving a double major in Mathematics and Economics, with a GPA of around 3.40 (doesn't have final grade of his last class).
It has been a hard four years, my wife and I tried to pay for it all but we did end up with one semester of student loans when both our kids had tuition due and my wife was off work caring for my terminal mother. My wife now has a good job and my daughter should be okay to go her last two years without loans.
I am proud of him and his accomplishments in school and now hopeful for the future. I am not sure what direction he is going to go with his degrees, but he is not willing to be a teacher. He wants to work in business as an analyst of some type but has no offers. I am hoping he can find something in this economy so he can spread his wings and flourish. At least he is in Texas and seven of the top ten Forbes projected cities for economic growth are in Texas. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenha ... -for-jobs/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
He is libertarian to the core, lase-fair economist, strong personal rights advocate, and all around good young man.
Here's to a bright future.

Congratulations. In Houston, the economy is booming. With his degree and high GPA, he should be able to find something within his chosen field.
Perseverance and hard work gets rewarded. And hats off to y'all for your direction and support, as well...
