My youngest son received his college diploma yesterday. A BS degree from a a very good college. No more tuition payments. Hopefully in the fall he will be employed and self sufficient.

    Congratulations! It must be a great feeling for both you and your son!

    (I have two teenage sons with college ahead of them so they'll remain on the payroll for some time to come...)

    There is no better feeling in the world. I did that with both my son and daughter. Yes you’ll be primed to sink some cash into what you love.
    A HUGE congratulations my good friend and brother 👍🏻👌🏻

    Congratulations Sanctionll and congrats to your son, a job well done! Once you stop having to pay for college tuition and board and housing, it is like hitting the lottery. lol

    I remember how nice it was when my daughter finished undergrad a couple of years ago and it did seem like I hit a small lottery each month. She is now in grad school going to be an Oral Surgeon someday and I can't wait for her to get finished up so she finally will start making the bucks instead of always putting them out!

    Anyhow, Congrats again, spend your new found wealth wisely each month. lol

    That's good but he's still spending your money while he's unemployed. Hope he got a degree in a field that hires real people.

    Congrats!!
    Our daughter got 2 B.S. degrees, then decided to get a Masters. Bless her heart, she did it all on her own.

    When in doubt, don't.

    What about post graduate and doctorate school? -)

    My son will start college in fall. Good for you!

    Good luck as most my all friends ex good college adult children seem to have moved back home to become cellar dwellers until they turn 30.

    Congratulations.... I hope it is a good degree.... I have seen so many job applicants (just out of college) with degrees (that they are proud of) and zero experience, that have no relation to positions they apply for...so many believe the degree qualifies them for management or some high position.... Welcome to reality. Cheers, RickO
