 RL> Mom 2: The second is a lawyer.
 RL> Mom 1: Impressive.  What about the third?
 RL> Mom 2: *sigh* He's a plumber.
 RL> Mom 1: Oh... Sorry... Disappointing?
 RL> Mom 2: No.  You see he put the other two through school.

I mentioned earlier about the Stepson...All parents should gear their
conversations with their kids that way.

Be all you can be... Contribute to society don't take away from it.  I chose
academia, my choice, I put myself through University.  I worked 2 jobs and
paid for school as I went through it.  No government hand outs no public
assistance.  I even bought a house while I was a student.  I graduated with 0
debt and a house.

My stepson became a welder, asked me a few questions along the way.  Now he's
doing great and being productive.
