True story. My nephew, who worked for Best Buy in Wichita, Kansas (not exactly a booming area of the country), got his transfer application approved to a better four year college to finish his degree.

When he gave them notice, they begged him not to quit as they would arrange a transfer to the Best Buy nearest his new college.

I asked him what made him so special to get that kind of offer. He just shrugged his shoulders and told me "All I do is show up for work when I am supposed to and do the best job I can when I'm there!"

In my youth, that was considered normal. Today, it is evidently spectacularly rare.

When my son said he was going to have to quit Burlington Coat Factory because he was scheduled to work 30 hours during his final exam week, they immediately rescheduled him. Anything to keep him from quitting!

Thanks for your stories. Just wondering, about these children/nephews/nieces, what was their chosen major in college and on average, how many hours a week did they work while there were attending college, during the school year and during the summer?
